i really enjoyed this read in a weird way. i was hooked from the first few lines and needed to see the girls’ lives through the end. it is a reminder how internalized our feelings of racism and insecurity can be and how children, even when they are not heard, listen to each word we speak. toni morrison has written a line every black child can relate to in some sense.
