"This read-alike for Meg Wolitzer's The Wife and Melissa Bank's A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing sets the weight of familial, romantic, and cultural expectations against the terrifying freedom of the unknown."

"In this crisp coming-of-age novel, Corie Adjmi courageously takes on a subject close to her heart, and one that has not yet been told through the female lens: the world of the Jewish Syrian girl."
--Ester Amini, Jewish Book Council

"The Marriage Boxis a wonderfully delightful page-turner that takes a deep dive into the intricacies of the Syrian Jewish community in New York. With humor, insight, and grace, Adjmi examines the plight of a spit-fire teenager who struggles to find where she fits in the world. As Casey Cohen journeys from wild teen to 18-year-old married woman, she will win every last reader's heart with her witty commentary, down-to-earth attitude, and courageous spunk. An unquestionable joyride from start to finish. This book is a must-read!"
--Jacqueline Friedland, USA Today best-selling author of He Gets That From Me

"The Marriage Box is a brilliant coming of age story that moves swiftly between the worlds of New Orleans and the Syrian Jewish community in NY. Our heroine, Casey, is flawed, kind and so vivid. We fall in love with her as she grapples to balance her need for independence with the comforts and constraints of tradition. I can't remember when I last enjoyed a story so much: I laughed, I cried, I learnt, and couldn't wait to turn the page to find out what Casey was going to do next. The Marriage Box is an absolute delight!"
--Ariana Neumann, New York Time best-selling author of When Time Stopped and National Jewish Book Award and Dayton Literary Peace Prize winner

"This book was real and authentic, giving the reader a stunning storyline and a unique cast of characters. There is so much growth and change within this story and it is so well written...I would highly recommend this book to anyone."
--Readers' Favorite, 5 STARS

"Corie Adjmi's fabulous novel The Marriage Boxis an unputdownable tale of Old World traditions-meets-New World desires. Adjmi doesn't hold back in this coming-of-age tale of a young woman who loses herself early on, shaped by a destructive past. The writing is rich, immersive, and seamless. You will root for Casey as she forges her own way in a patriarchal world. A must-read."
--Lisa Barr, award-winning author of Woman on Fire, The Unbreakables, and Fugitive Colors
