libscote 's review for:

An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
4.0

I will say this book sucked me right in, which was nice, because I had felt like I was in a little bit of a reading slump, often choosing the internet instead. This book I picked over the internet, if that tells you anything.

It's a compelling story about complicated people. I didn't particularly like any of our main characters, but their stories were interesting. It would be an excellent book club choice, which is why I read it (even if I can't be with my book club now). I do think it is a good reminder of the way crimes and prison reverberate through a family.
