An American Marriage by Tayari Jones

3.0

Oh, boy. This was a slider for me. I was all in, practically engrossed for maybe two thirds of the book--really not sure how things were going to turn out or whose side I was on (Roy's? Celestial's?) and THEN Roy comes home and everything screeched to a halt and I could hear metal upon metal. I hate to say it, but it was soooo disappointing. Celestial was just meh to me all the way through but I actively DISLIKED Roy by the end. And there is one pivotal scene that made me want to throw things--actually two scenes. And they both involve Roy.
