Celestial, Roy and Andre narrate this book in alternating chapters. Celestial and Roy are married and Andre is Celestial's best friend from childhood. This book has an interesting and very observant take on a specific marriage, and on marriage in general. It is also a very engaging, and, I think, worthwhile read.

The events that shape the marriage in this book are quite unusual. Roy is arrested for a rape he did not commit after just one year of marriage to Celeste. He is sentenced to 12 years in prison, and Celeste has her attorney/uncle working to find a way to set him free. But during the years of Roy's imprisonment, Celestial finds herself drawn towards Andre, whom she discovers was actually her real love. In the beginning of the book, there are letters back and forth from prison between Celestial and Roy. In these letters, we see the gradual drawing away of Celestial, and Roy's frustration. The back stories of each character are well-drawn, and they are fully fleshed-out. People change and grow through life, and this was a unique way to show these changes, in life and within a marriage.

I liked the ending (even though I'm not sure I believed it...I wanted to) and felt it was a good resolution to this story.
