The Dishwasher Fight and Other Signs of Love
Fran Preston
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
In the world of long-term relationships, it’s the little things that count—or, more accurately, the things that could lead to a heated discussion over who’s turn it is to empty the dishwasher.
In The Dishwasher Fight and Other Signs of Love, Fran Preston takes a hilarious, heartfelt journey through the unexpected “big moments” that define love once the initial honeymoon phase has worn off. From the silent treatment over someone not remembering to replace the toilet roll, to debating the merits of “spontaneous” date nights that feel anything but spontaneous, Fran explores the odd, quirky, and occasionally maddening ways we show love in the everyday chaos of a long-term partnership.
This book is a celebration of the little fights, the unspoken gestures, and the weirdly specific shared rituals that don’t make the movies—but absolutely make a relationship. With sharp humour and deep affection for the messy, imperfect, and delightful reality of loving someone for the long haul, Fran proves that sometimes, the greatest signs of love aren’t the grand gestures—they’re the moments when you’re both willing to wash the dishes.
Because love is often about compromise... and, occasionally, who gets the last slice of pizza.
