After reading and loving American Marriage, I quickly added this to my TBR. Months later, I was finally prompted to read it as part of the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club.

This one didn't capture my attention in the same way. I don't know if that's because my reading tastes have changed in the last year, or if that is because the books are written differently.

I just felt a bit bored while reading. While the premise was interesting (and that first line was amazing! - talk about a hook), I just never got completely captivated by the characters and their story.

I still like how Tayari Jones writes and I will likely continue to check out her books. And I'm looking forward to her joining in our book club discussion this month too!
