I wish I would've read this book for class or with a group because I felt like I was reading a story with a lot of points on a map that didn't quite connect for me. I loved the storyline of the two characters this rotated around, but the book also focused on the town at large, and those bits got lost on me. I found I wasn't quite sure what this was trying to do, and I get really easily frustrated with myself when that happens and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn't smart enough to figure it out. I ended up skimming the last 20 pages of this because I just didn't have the energy anymore to piece things together. So although Morrison is undoubtedly one of the most talented writers in the world and there were so many great quotes I marked, I wish I would've tackled this book with Sparknotes open or something because it just went a little over my head.

"this took 50 pages to pick up (which is concerning for a book under 200 pages) but toni morrison is undoubtedly one of the most talented writers who ever has existed"

I read this one for a college course. It was definitely helpful to have a professor leading discussion about it. It’s my favorite Toni Morrison book.
theres a crashcourse for this book :)
I felt the same way when reading it, that I just wasn’t getting it. I felt that it was beautifully written and the characters have such depth, I did enjoy it. I wanted to talk to someone or a group about it!
