That was a rough read., there some moments that I wasn’t sure I could get thru it. Her writing style is excellent even with the heavier topics at hand or heavier moments. She knows how to pull you into a story and make you sit with that uncomfortableness.

What a harrowing story 🥺 Pecola did not deserve any of the difficulties she went through.
I found the writing bitty and hard to get through at times, so I had to put it down every now and then.
3.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
