The Ring Does Not Fit

Alena is stuck in a mundane marriage and longing for something

different. New clothes. Bigger bling. Flashy cars. Miraculously and
inexplicably, it all happens in a flash and she is finally married to
the man of her dreams, but something still seems to be missing. In all
her excitement, the one thing she’s looking for is the one thing she
can’t seem to keep.

My thoughts: After seven years of marriage, Alena can't seem to help herself from looking at her life with a sense of dismay. Feeling like she would be happier had she married someone other than her Lee, she wakes up to find that her dreams have come true. Or have they? As she she experiences different scenarios, will she come to realize the treasures that she has in her life? Or is her dream world really better than reality?

I loved the message of this book! I thought it was one that needs to be out there, since it can be easy to get caught up in the romance and forget that the true love story is when we sacrifice and work through things, making a marriage out of what life throws at you. This is an excellent story to pick up!

I received this book from Celebrate Lit. This is my honest review.

More from Sunshine

“Why are we never satisfied? I mean, we can have
houses, cars and money and still want more! If I were to break it
down, I would have to say…insecurity. Maybe we feel like we’re not good
enough. I don’t know about you, but I compare myself with others
all the time just by looking at social media and feeling like I don’t
measure up.

My book “The Ring Does Not Fit” concentrates on appreciating what is right in front of you,
celebrating those who are still with you and staying humble.
Because the grass is not always greener on the other side and there
is always more going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about.

I wanted to explore the issue of contentment in my book.

The only way to really get over any personal frustration

and constant comparison is to have
an attitude of thanksgiving and praise where you are thankful

for what you have, no matter how little or big it is.

That’s the first step to loving life.”
