The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
dark
emotional
sad
4.25
This was one of my required readings for my English class and I’ve been wanting to revisit it since then, mostly because I could not remember anything that happened
Now reading it again, this is definitely a must read
Morrison’s writing can be a bit dense and overly poetic when trying to distinguish whose POV were in but it’s not a criticism to her at all and more so just me trying to get used to her style
It’s clear why this is on the banned books list and I think it’s great at opening discussions about race, class, abuse, poverty and privilege
