This novel touches on our desire to seek a loved one’s approval when we fall in love

The Marriage Box has already been named a “Must Read New Book of 2022” by Zibby Owens on Katie Couric Media, and Adjmi’s first book Life and Other Shortcomings has won numerous awards, including the 2020 American Fiction Award.

When we find ourselves in a budding relationship, there inevitably comes a time when we want to tell the people closest to us about this new love. Their approval means the world to us, and when they aren’t as fond of our crush as we are, it can be heartbreaking!

Award-winning author of Life and Other Shortcomings, Corie Adjmi is no stranger to taking these universal experiences and turning them into stories that entertain, empower, and enlighten.

Adjmi’s newest book, The Marriage Box highlights this very situation. When main character Casey finds herself head-over-heels for a guy she’s only known for a few months, her childhood best friend/cousin is skeptical of their relationship, and most of all, worried for Casey’s future.
