An American Marriage

*4.25/5☆

“But home isn't where you land; home is where you launch. You can't pick your home any more than you can choose your family. In poker, you get five cards. Three of them you can swap out, but two are yours to keep: family and native land.”

My heart wasn't ready for this. This book was phenomenal, I can understand why Oprah picked this as her book club pick. This book is so raw and full of emotion. Tayari Jones did such a great job in making you feel every emotion the characters where going through. I loved that this wasn't just a love story between partners but between family too. I may or may not have cried more than once while reading this. This book was so unique to me because it wasn't the type of love story that you'd think. Its complicated and difficult to explain without completely spoiling the book for y'all. I was rooting for all of the characters especially Celestial she was my favorite but, both her and Roy deserve eternal happiness. Roy annoyed me at times if I'm being honest. I lowkey fell in love with Andre, he was so cute I just wanted to hug him at times. Y'all just need to read this beauty of a book!!!

Y'ALL TELL ME THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS THIS BUT MICHAEL B JORDAN WOULD BE AN AMAZING ROY IF THIS EVER BECOMES A MOVIE!!!
