I loved American Marriage it opened my eyes to incarceration in America and I loved the “love story” I guess you could call it that.
However, Silver Sparrow I did not enjoy it took me over six weeks to read as I just didn’t want to pick the book up. I felt it had such potential but it was an anticlimax.
