Summary
Summary
In this New York Times bestseller, a single father discovers the true nature of unconditional love when a new chance at happiness turns his world upside down.
At 32, Russell Green has it all: a stunning wife, a lovable six year-old daughter, a successful career as an advertising executive, and an expansive home in Charlotte. He is living the dream, and his marriage to the bewitching Vivian is at the center of it. But underneath the shiny surface of this perfect existence, fault lines are beginning to appear . . . and no one is more surprised than Russ when every aspect of the life he has taken for granted is turned upside down.
In a matter of months, Russ finds himself without a job or a wife, caring for his young daughter while struggling to adapt to a new and baffling reality. Throwing himself into the wilderness of single parenting, Russ embarks on a journey at once terrifying and rewarding -- one that will test his abilities and his emotional resources beyond anything he's ever imagined.
When a chance encounter with an old flame tempts him to take a chance on love again, he will navigate this new opportunity with trepidation and wonder. But with the loyal support of his parents, the wisdom of his older sister, Marge, and in the hard-won lessons of fatherhood, Russ will finally come to understand the true nature of unconditional love -- that it is a treasure to be bestowed, not earned.

Booklist Review
*Starred Review* Best-selling Sparks (See Me, 2015) celebrates his twentieth year of publishing with his twentieth book, a tale that will, as have his previous novels, induce readers to laugh, weep, and reflect on life's endless challenges. Narrator Russell Green thinks life can't get any better. His wife, Vivian, is a catch, and his five-year-old daughter, London, is a joy, but the story he tells is of the year everything came undone. After Russ quits his job and starts his own business, Vivian resents his decision, gives up on being a stay-at-home mom, and goes back to work. With Vivian constantly traveling in her new high-powered role, Russ finds himself struggling to get his new business off the ground while also trying to take care of London. Yet he finds that he relishes spending time with his daughter and learning more about his amazing little girl. Still, when he feels Vivian pulling even further away, his world begins to collapse. Two by Two is a deeply moving tale not only about the love between a father and a daughter but also about the power of family and the courage we must find within ourselves as we face the unknown.--Smith, Patricia Copyright 2016 Booklist
