byronic_reader 's review for:

An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
4.0

I have read this book around August but I never got to post anything about it. I'm not going to say much about the plot because it's all over the bookstagram community. I'm only going to state why I recommend this book.
.
The main thing I noticed in this book is the dynamics of a marriage. Right from a simple quarrel to falling out of love, it deals with everything.
.
Another thing I felt is how easy it is to compromise our happiness for the one we love. It can be love between a parent and a child or a husband and wife or between friends.
.
The emotions were intense and the relationships are complicated. But here the characters set their differences aside and try to stand for their family even in difficult times because, at the end of the day, they are family whether they like it or not.
.
I didn't bawl my eyes out while reading this book but it is a wonderful and touching read for me and I certainly got a few tips for myself as well. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to read about marriage and couples' dynamics.
