Amazing prose and absolutely compelling story where the beauty and brokenness is so intertwined as to seem inseparable.

This book is incredible from start to finish.

I liked it but I like some of her other books more

Overall, Morrison’s writing was so good! I loved how detailed her writing was and how she phrased certain things. However, I will say it was sometimes hard to follow. This book also had many twists and turns that I didn’t see coming which always kept me on edge. It was unpredictable, and I could analyze a lot!

Even better the second time around. An incredible achievement, can’t wait to teach it!
