Must Come Assembled: Assembling the Pieces for a Successful Relationship By: Dr. John F. Groves Sr. Must Come Assembled brings to light the deep-rooted problems of dating and relationships in the modern dating era. Why do so many relationships fail? Dr. Groves explores this notion through an examination of a recently divorced man who, after being married for over sixteen years, finds himself single, back on the dating scene, and forced to confront his own history of failed relationships. Through reflection, he discovers fundamental issues about how people, in general, deal with relationship, and how dating and relationships have changed from how he had conceived of them decades before. He began exploring deep-rooted questions about human behavior. Namely, what makes one person say “yes” and another, “no”? Why do we choose the people we do? How do we come to conclusions about who is on our team, and who is not? Why do so many relationships fail? And especially, why did his relationship fail? Dr. Groves draws on his personal experiences to bring light to common human experiences and decisions, interweaving stories of plans, pains, struggles, and changes to bring the reader to a deeper understanding of dating, relationships, and the role we each play.

This blistering, fearless, and unforgettable literary novel finds a woman with everything on the line and a life-or-death decision waiting for her—perfect for fans of Claudia Rankine and Jenny Offill. Come of age in the credit crunch. Be civil in a hostile environment. Go to college, get an education, start a career. Do all the right things. Buy an apartment. Buy art. Buy a sort of happiness. But above all, keep your head down. Keep quiet. And keep going. The narrator of Assembly is a black British woman. She is preparing to attend a lavish garden party at her boyfriend’s family estate, set deep in the English countryside. At the same time, she is considering the carefully assembled pieces of herself. As the minutes tick down and the future beckons, she can’t escape the question: is it time to take it all apart? Assembly is a story about the stories we live within – those of race and class, safety and freedom, winners and losers.And it is about one woman daring to take control of her own story, even at the cost of her life. With a steely, unfaltering gaze, Natasha Brown dismantles the mythology of whiteness, lining up the debris in a neat row and walking away.
