i absolutely loved this!

i found the way Hurston switched between her writers' voice and Janie's idiomatic storytelling was masterful to say the least. not only did I find myself doting on the love story between Tea Cake and Janie, but Janie's ever-evolving sense of self and assurance and the depiction of the characters as flawed and whole was very refreshing to me.
