The Bluest Eye (Vintage International)
In Morrison’s bestselling first novel, Pecola Breedlove—an 11-year-old Black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others—prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment.

It was a disturbing read sometimes (a lot of trigger warnings) but I enjoyed the greater message of it all. You are unique in the world and that is all that matters.
Easily one of my favorite books. There’s so much to dissect and discuss and look into. Every character is significant and plays a role. The story is both enlightening (of different experiences) and extremely sad. I definitely plan on looking more into this novel and annotating more.
