This book was really well written, obviously it’s by toni morrison. but truthfully it’s a bit of a mind fuck. i still don’t know how i feel about the ending. it is very interesting how pecola reacts to getting blue eyes, and how she interacts with herself afterward. how did she get blue eyes? i think it’s a metaphor for black beauty not being recognized until conforming to white standards, but i need to think about it more.

I actually really enjoyed this book! My one gripe is that tjr writes like a white woman for white women and it can make her characters very unrelatable at times. But she certainly know how to create an engaging plot!
