Nothing could have prepared me for the pain and emptiness this book has left me in. I have a lot of thoughts on this book and they all come down to how misunderstood Sula was. You can’t overlook the suffering she did cause but she just wanted to be free. I think both Nel and Sula were the only people in the end who each of them belonged to. The idea of girlhood and friendship and the everlasting bond that comes when you have that deep of a connection like Nel and Sula did was complex. In the end both of the girls lasts thoughts were of each other. The love that seeped through the pages was unreal. You cannot convince me that Nel and Sula did not love each other, I think they just found their love when it was too late.
