On the other hand, An American Marriage had me totally engrossed and I finished it in two days! Told from multiple viewpoints and some letters, the book tells the tale of a modern, black couple when the husband is thrown in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. Their young marriage tries to thrive while the wife finds herself having to live her own life and do the things they had planned. It’s heart-wrenching and sharp and feels completely real. I think Jones knocked it out of the park, and this will be a top book of 2018 for me.
