The Best Books Written by Black Women in 2018 — and Yes, They're All Magical

This book has made it onto nearly every "best of" list, including our own. It's the story of a marriage interrupted by a false conviction and everything that occurs as a result. It's an unapologetic depiction of black love, and feels incredibly, and at times, painfully real. The characters are complex and flawed, but you'll find yourself loving them just the same. It's a searing reminder of the many ways life can change in an instant, and an important reminder that things will go on just the same.
