The Wedding by Dorothy West

Slow then woah...
Took me a while to read this one. Found myself stuck in the first half of the novel, then all of the sudden, with 40/50 pages left, i was immersed. The ending was not what I expected; I even got bug eyed for a second at that crazy outcome. Not sure what to do with the story in its totality. There were parts i liked, parts that felt too slow, parts that went by pretty fast. At its foundation, the story has good elements. I also like a story that speaks to the harsh realities of racism and colorism.
