After All: A Sapphic Romance
What happens in Vegas might just save their marriage.
Maggie and Gwen Pierce aren’t divorced, not technically. They’re just on pause. Separate bedrooms, strained silences, and young kids who accept vague answers as fact. It’s easier than admitting their marriage is over.
Except, Maggie hasn’t told her best friends.
When the group heads to Vegas for Pete and Danica’s bachelorette party, their friends are so excited to invite Gwen for the first time, thinking Maggie and Gwen are the happily married couple of the bunch. So, to keep the peace, they decide to fake it. A smile here, a kiss on the cheek there. Just until the weekend is over.
Of course, Vegas has its own ideas. Now, Maggie and Gwen have to decide if their story is over or if it is just getting good again.
After All is a second-chance rom-com packed with fake dating, marriage-on-pause angst, and the kind of meddling friends who make sure you never face heartbreak or hope alone.

Exhilarating read!
Just a nice and delightful conclusion to this 'Latitude & Longing' friendship series. A bit disappointed because i really did not want it to end -- just a well-paced and written book #3.
Highly recommended book and series!

It took me a lot of will power to hold off reading this book until the new year because I have been so invested in this series, in this group of 5 college friends that continually show up for each other and, in the case of the previous books, even fall in love with each other.
But the previous books had the same issue, which I’ll call the Maggie problem. Because Maggie’s life is very different compared to her friends, at least when we start book 2. She’s married to an outsider of the group. She has 3 kids. She lives in Texas. She’s been the 5th wheel in all their get-togethers—a cagey fifth wheel who avoids discussing her wife. And do you know how hard that she has to work to avoid anything with this group of friends?
Bryce Oakley did me a huge favor (let me think this, Bryce, even though it’s definitely not true) by giving Maggie her own book. All I’ve wanted this whole time is for Maggie to be happy like her friends and to get to know Gwen better.
I’ll admit my expectations were low coming into this book. That’s not a knock on the author at all but because this is the 3rd book in a series—and, let’s be honest, first books are usually the best of the bunch—and because this is a romance about an already-married couple. Writing about established couples is hard, which is why there aren’t that many. But, Bryce, you hit this out of the park. Honestly. I didn’t want to put this book down and was so mad when I made the very adult decision to force myself to sleep last night at the 80% mark.
What you’ll find within these pages is a well-earned romance with ups and downs, heartbreak and hilarity, chaos and order. And you’ll also be rewarded with time with the friend group, which, to me, is where so many series fail—in not letting the reader spend enough time with the other characters with whom they are invested. Not here, though. I love them all and I loved this book. I can’t wait to reread the whole thing again.
One last note: I would not read this unless you’ve read the previous books. It would work as a standalone, yes, but there’s a lot of context you’d miss if you started here. But, hey, maybe you’d know how Gwen feels without al the inside jokes between these friends?

Yay! I wasn't convinced by #2 of this series, but thank god this one was an absolute delight. I loved reading about a current married couple trying to make it - a different formula from the usual. The emotional depth throughout had me invested from start to finish, and the dynamics with their friends were heartwarming.
I would have loved a few flashbacks to see their love grow over the years, just to feel their history more deeply. That said, I'm just being extra picky - there were moments that made me laugh out loud and others that brought tears to my eyes. Always a sign of a great book. This story is genuinely feel-good, even as it tackles the very real challenges of marriage—the fragility, the effort it takes to stay aligned as a team. The balance between angst and fun was perfect.
I’ll definitely be reading this again. Highly recommended!

I don’t really know how I feel about this book. It was good, a great story about a couple coming together after a tumultuous time apart. I think it was just a lot heavier on the angst than I was anticipating. It’s very much about the hard parts of a relationship and marriage, very much not your typical romance book. I knew that going in but I think I was expecting more of the romance you usually see in Bryce Oakley books.
There were definitely moments typical of a classic fake dating romance. They were also loaded with the fact that they’ve been married for years. This was the most adult romance I’ve read, not because of “adult themes” (which usually refer to spice) necessarily but more that it felt like two real people wanting to make it work and it not working. Two people who love each other facing real adults problems and roadblocks. I totally believe that a real version of their story exists.
I think ultimately my thoughts can be summed up by: it was more serious than I was anticipating based on past Bryce Oakley reading experiences and thus this book just wasn’t what I was anticipating. I think I would generally have more positive feelings about it if I had a better grasp of the tone going in. Also basically the whole time I wanted to grab Gwen by the shoulders and shake her. Like all love, get a grip. There is clearly something you could do to solve a good portion of their issues and it took her forever to actually get to that conclusion.
It was a good conclusion to this group I feel. Full transparency, I’ve read the first book and not the second so I was confused at parts (this is definitely closer to a full series than a collection of standalone) but I feel like I got the big picture.
TLDR: It was good because it was real. It was just not a level of real that I was expecting. But you will never catch me not recommending a Bryce Oakley book.

It wasn't my intention at all, but I suddenly found myself bingeing the Latitude & Longing series. After One Last Run, my first Bryce Oakley book, I was hooked. The series centers on five college friends who reconnect after more than a decade apart. In the first book, I got to know all five of the women well, and that made me eager to absorb their stories as the main characters as quickly as possible.
In this book, Meddling Maggie is the main character, along with her wife Gwen. But of course, the other women also play a major role in the story.
There's a lot of grief, loneliness, and longing for what once was. It was all quite sad and heartbreaking. It felt like things wouldn't work out, even though they clearly still loved each other.
This book was also very worthwhile and, in my opinion, is on par with the previous two books. 4+⭐️

look clearly the author's calling is to write emotionally fraught girls trips and I commend her for channelling that into romantic comedies
I love a second chance romance, and it turns out I especially love a second chance romance which is still technically on its first chance? I mean second chance romances thrive on baggage, and what's more baggage than a marriage on the precipice. it's just a great set up for angst. Maggie and Gwen are at a very painful place where they see the life they built together crumbling and can only keep repeating the story of how it's the other partner's fault and they did everything they could
the marital issues are a tale as old as time - a breakdown in communication, grief that should be shared but ends up dividing them, a reminder that while the five love languages aren't really a thing (at least, they're not as ironclad as Hogwarts houses) people do expect love in different ways and you should really check in to make sure the way you're communicating love is getting through. and then just a lot of Maggie lashing out for any kind of connection and attention while Gwen stoically goes "I'm going to respect your wishes and offer you space even though I'm just as miserable as you are"
not to mention the biggest facepalm moment in the history of romantic comedies when Gwen takes a post-coital work call Gwen what the fuck woman
it's tragic, and it's emotional, and it's sweet, and very good book yes. I don't know if it's even available worldwide yet I just got in early because of timezones and wanting to know how the girls trip trilogy ended

didn’t hit like i thought it would
October 31, 2025
I love books that centre an established couple that are working on their relationship but I didn’t enjoy this story. It felt both long and extremely dull. There really wasn’t much romance or tension in the relationship. I honestly thought they had irreconcilable differences and that their relationship shouldn’t continue. And there wasn’t any on page reasons to suggest they had this amazing relationship that I should believe in or they should fight for. It was mundane and pretty disappointing to me.
I also thought it was insane of Maggie to be so pissed off about Gwen prioritising her work. I mean, they are a single income household with three kids. It sounded really unreasonable and borderline childish to be annoyed at her for earning money for their family. “The stress of being the sole monetary provider for the family had been her constant, not Maggie’s need for time together.” Exactly what I thought. It seems like Maggie has no empathy whatsoever about Gwen’s situation and refused to see Gwen’s side of the issue.
“Not showing up. Not putting her first. And now she was standing in a lake house two flights away from home, when she should’ve been in a glass tower conference room nodding at renderings.” I am so confused/annoyed by the message of this story. And why was Gwen’s boss painted as a heartless person all of sudden who was all work and no balance for no reason? Wasn’t she the one who convinced Gwen to go on the lunch date where she got invited to the Vegas trip?? And Gwen giving up her professional goals to basically meet Maggie’s insane demands didn’t feel very balanced. It felt very unrealistic and bizarre.
And the resolution of their problems being a grand gesture from Gwen was lacklustre and pretty out place for the story. In my opinion, it didn’t really solve anything and was so cliche.

My favorite of this series, sad to see it end. We rarely get to read about a sapphiic couple who are struggling to stay in a long term relationship. This was tender and real. It made my heart hurt in moments and smile too. I world recommend this while series!

One of my least favorite romance cliches is the third act breakup caused by communication issues, that this book started with that having already happened before dropping a second one later on didn’t make me love it! I grant that the premise was kind of unique, but I didn’t really get the chemistry between the leads that would make their reconciliation and recommitment to one another satisfying, and I still hate how contrived the recapitulation of their breakup felt (I also think I’m a hater of Las Vegas and most of that section read like shallow wish fulfillment).

I was fully emotionally invested almost immediately and I genuinely felt the pain from both Maggie and Gwen. What I really loved is that the author didn’t let either of them just coast past their mistakes. They both had to sit with their shit and take responsibility for their part in how everything fell apart, which made the story feel raw and honest instead of convenient.
I loved how the heartbreak wasn’t about cheating or not loving each other anymore. It was about unresolved issues, not communicating properly and not taking accountability soon enough. That kind of pain feels so real and relatable. The pining, the distance and the quiet suffering on both sides honestly hurt in the best way and I was completely here for it.
Maggie’s friends meddling was such a good touch and added a lot of warmth and pressure at the same time. And seeing both Maggie and Gwen actually grow over time felt satisfying without being rushed or unrealistic.
This book hurt, healed and sat heavy on my heart and I really loved it.

Maggie and Gwen are separated, but Maggie hasn't told the friend group yet. She doesn't want this to cast a shadow on her friends Bachelorette party and Vegas trip. But Maggie figures it'll be fine, as Gwen isn't coming.
Only Gwen gets invited out by the others and is asked to go. Oops. So they resolve to pretend to be a happy couple so not to spoil things.
Part of the problem is several of their friends literally call them 'couple goals.' So, telling them is hard.
The three days in Vegas are fun, and as they play out Gwen and Maggie start to rediscover what they mean to each other. But the issues still remain.
OK, that's funny. They friends group realized they were having issues, and deliberately invited Gwen to try to help out. Maggie is mortified.
Third act breakup.
Mostly liked the ending, tho Gwen's sudden realization felt a bit weird. Still, good read.

Wow. After All hit me right in the feelings. I went in expecting a lighthearted second-chance rom-com and ended up getting this beautiful, emotional gut punch of love, regret, and hope. Bryce Oakley really knows how to write complicated women who still make you root for them every step of the way.
Maggie and Gwen Pierce are technically still married—but just barely. They’re living like polite roommates trying not to bump into the ghosts of what they used to be. When a Vegas bachelorette trip forces them to fake being “the happy couple” again, it’s supposed to be harmless. Except… it’s not. All those old sparks, old wounds, and old habits come rushing back, and watching them navigate that mess was both hilarious and heart-wrenching.
I loved how Oakley didn’t shy away from the hard stuff. Gwen’s guilt, Maggie’s resentment, the exhaustion of parenting and pretending—it all felt so real. But amid all that, there’s still love. There’s laughter. And there’s this growing sense that maybe what’s broken doesn’t have to stay that way. The banter is great, the emotional moments hit deep, and yes—the spice? It’s absolutely there and perfectly done. Intimate, tender, and full of that “oh, they still know each other” energy.
By the end, I was smiling like an idiot because Maggie and Gwen really earned their happy ending. This book reminded me that sometimes love isn’t about starting over—it’s about coming back, older, wiser, and ready to do it right this time.

can a broken marriage be fixed..
What happens when one of you forgets what’s important. Maggie felt unheard, alone, forgotten. Gwen thought she was providing for her family by spending long hours at work constantly checking her email taking calls over the weekend. Maggie tried to reach her but Gwen wasn’t listening. She forgot what was important and it almost cost her her wife and family. Add in a group of meddling friends and things get interesting.

This is definitely more emotional than the others in the series. I reread the other two before starting this one and loved them all! (But this one made me cry!)
Meddling Maggie and her unfortunate accidents always added some comedy in the series, but Maggie's own story reveals the struggles that she has tried to keep hidden.
The power of friendship will always bond this group if amazing women. ❤️

I liked all other settlements of longing and latitude ig. but this one... hmmm
it's weird. gwen being the sole breadwinner for the family... it made sense that she didn't have time for them... 3kids+wife. damn, lots of mouths to feed + wife and friends have surprisingly many trips.
idk. it didn't seem too realistic ig.
still good tho.

Fantastic!!
If this is the end, it is perfect. If there's more, say Lilian, maybe, I definitely won't be sad. Either way, this whole series was just fantastic, as is everything, Ms. Oakley writes!

I am in awe. This book is so good, which really doesnt surprise me because Bryce is amazing. But wow. The imagery that she presents is so beautiful. She is so freaking clever and funny. This book flowed so well. It made me laugh and cry and swoon. Friends meddled in the background in a non-overbearing. This friend group is top-tiered. From the story, to the epilogue, to the acknowledgements. I loved this book!!

Ahhh, I loved this book. The book really just grabs you in and makes you feel so hard for both characters' perspectives. I cried multiple times happy and sad tears. I think the book also just has such amazing lines throughout. It is so well-written overall, but some of the lines hit so hard and really make you think so much about your own life, whether you have a partner or not. I also just love that coming back to each other was a process, and it was hard, it was not just a one-fix, and everything is better. It was a continuous fight for each other, and even after the book ends, you know they will keep doing that.
