The Bluest Eye
by Toni Morrison
The messages and themes of this book are very thought provoking - the beauty standards society forces on BIPOC, especially children, and how upholding those ideas is harmful. The narration of how these standards can create self loathing was soul crushing. The cast of characters have so much depth to them
I was confused until around 70% why the narration was changing continuously and the time in which the events were happening also constantly changed. It’s the main reason for this rating.
Make sure you read trigger warnings before hand. Heavy topics.
