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!
This book as a whole was well written or easy to read and eloquently devoted a strong emotional tie into the characters and their emotions. Partly predictable but still engaging enough to continue. I won't give the story away but I don't like the ending. I do feel it is uncovers important subject matter that needs to be discussed.
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.
