*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
