After three years of having this on my bookshelf I have finally finished The Bluest Eye. While I wish I liked this more, and wanted to like this more, I found that the book was extremely scattered and depressing. There’s so much sexual violence, domestic abuse, poverty, and racism spreed throughout each of the pages that it made it hard to want to read. Pecola from birth was set up to fail from all the adults that were supposed to protect her. 

I’m happy I read it and finally finished but wow was that a tough read.
