"And speaking of which… (Jeffrey Eugenides nearly ruined him for me - cf. The Marriage Plot - but I’ll get over it.) What has become some sort of bullshit semiotic touchstone for asshole academics is in fact terrifying, pathetically human: he’s like a tender mathematician — perhaps more like Primo Levi — dissecting the holocaust that is Love."

Read this without looking at what it's about
I wasn't sure what to expect when I began reading this book, believing it would show a satirical version of marriage, however, This exceeded my expectations.

Following the story of Roy Jr and Celeste, after just a year and a half of marriage, Roy is falsely incarcerated for a rape and their bond begins to fall apart. It puts the lense on how the American justice system breaks down marriages in African American families, but it also looks at how conventional ties no longer apply.

Written in a letter format for the majority, it is a beautiful and harrowing drama of a husband and wife as they struggle to cope in these situations. Great read.

This story is complicated. It deals with many moral issues. Families, marriage, strength and weakness. This is a great story coming out just in time for you to toss in your tote bag or beach bag. Just do it!
