The Last Blue by Isla Morley
5.0

The Last Blue has been on my wishlist for some time, and I’m so grateful to have read it. Five full stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The Last Blue is the story of Clay Havens, working as a photographer during the Depression.

He travels to Kentucky on special assignment, and there he meets Jubilee Buford, whose skin is literally blue. Jubilee lives a hard life separate from society because of extreme prejudice against her because of her skin color and the fear surrounding her.

The writing is lush and eastern Kentucky is brought to life. I absolutely savored the words. I’ve read other books about the blue people of Kentucky, and this one definitely stands out.

The bonus is that the most endearing love develops between two of the characters. It’s a story I won’t soon forget and definitely a favorite.

Thank you to the author for the gifted copy. I also bought a copy.
