A review by daniela_is_reading
An American Marriage by Tayari Jones

5.0

Roy and Celestial are African American and newly married when Roy is wrongly accused of a crime he hasn't committed and sent to prison. A story of heartbreak, injustices, lies, love, moral and cultural obligations surface. I didn't particularly love the characters, but i did feel frustrated,  empathy  and despair for all the main characters at different stages. It's a horrible, tragic and complicated situation. So, for me if the characters were too perfect it wouldn't seem real. I think with some books it's not necessarily about loving or siding with one character. 

I really enjoyed this read 💜💔
