Tayari Jones books stresses me out. They get in my head and feelings regarding how captivating, thought provoking and unsatisfactory at the end. I'm always lost for words to say or put into writing.
She's an amazing writer, but never writes fair.
It's either someone is being robbed of something, we feel sorry for them, ready to fight for them, then they get foolish and starts acting without thinking.
As for the supposed villian, we get to see them not thinking through as well, but have redeeming qualities and sincere intentions. Then they lose everything at the end.
I'd pick up her book, but if I see this same narrative from the two books I've read written by her, I won't be picking her books no more.
The foolishness written in Black characters is exhausting.
