The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison

dark emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

3.5

While the writing style is excellent, I found it hard to follow the through-line of the story as the point of view and timeframe changed with each chapter. I also didn’t feel like we spent enough time with any of the characters to really connect with them. I liked the idea of getting the backstories of what led each person to a specific terrible moment in time, but it just didn’t hit home for me.
