5.0

The perfect book truly exists! A 5 star rating isn’t enough to capture the brilliance of this novel. Like Toni put her blood, sweat and tears into this one. I haven’t come close to tears from a book in quite some time but this one had me teary eyed throughout. There’s so much heartbreak, so much loss, so much hurt wrapped into 174 pages and I have no idea how Morrison did it. 

I will be bringing Sula to my next therapy session for sure. I feel like everyone should read this book at least once in their lifetime, there’s so much to take away from this soul crushing work of art.
