Review: The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison

I can FINALLY say that I’ve read a book by Toni Morrison. Such a sad story that I know lies so close to many little girls who are picked on and determined by others to be ugly in looks in which they have no control of.

Morrison did a great job of giving us the back story of most of the characters in this book and showing us how they got to be in the current state that they are. Sometimes our dealings as children end up being our own worst enemies later in life. What we resent most in life is sometimes inflicted upon others to help ease our own pains. The words “hurt people hurt people” rings true in many cases.

This books was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me. I LOVE Morrison’s writing style and how descriptive she was in her writing. She really knows how to paint a vivid picture in her stories. I look forward to spending 2019 reading the rest of her works (in order)!
