This book was HEAVY for me because of the context but it was a great story of how a relationship can be altered by one incident was very real and tough digest. I would definitely recommend!

Wow! Just wow! From beginning to end, Tayari Jones reeled me in. I was a little disappointed in the ending, but I understood. Roy and Celestial did what needed to be done. I definitely recommend this novel.
