Sexing the Cherry by Jeanette Winterson

3.0

I'm starting this off by saying I had to read this book for a Modern Fiction course. Based on the blurb, I wouldn't have voluntarily picked this book up. Although it did not pique my interest, I have to add a disclaimer that it is simply not the type of story I enjoy reading. Besides that, I can see how people enjoyed it. The characters had a complexity to them, same with the plot(which was rather...interesting), that I did not expect. The author did a phenomenal job writing this story. I don't think I could've gotten through it if the writing had been horrible. Overall, I give it 3 stars simply because I did not find any interest in reading it but the writing partly made up for that fact. If you enjoy magical realism and complex plots, this is for you.
