Sophie Kinsella wrote Surprise Me, a novel set in current time in London. Sylvie and Dan have been married for 7 years when they take a day off work to have lunch and go to the doctor for annual physical exams. The doctor sees the couple in his office, compliments them on their healthy habits, and predicts they will have 68 more years of marriage. Instead of being happy about it, Sylvie and Dan worry they will get tired of each other so they make a plan to surprise each other. The first half of the book is silly and romantic. The second half gets more interesting because there are some flaws in this perfect couple. This book was a witty look into the depths of a young marriage.
