A review by jocelynmaae
Sula by Toni Morrison
4.0
“‘Lonely, ain't it?’
‘Yes, but my lonely is mine. Now your lonely is somebody else's. Made by somebody else and handed to you. Ain't that something? A secondhand lonely.’”
Why is Sula me coded.
Also why did Morrison lowkey write about cousins who are lesbians in love with each other but Nel didn’t realize until she was at Sulas grave…
Tragic, very sad.
I give this four stars because I was forced to read it and also rushed because due dates and shit so I didn’t really get the full experience. When I eventually order it and re read it though it might slay.
Okay now we chat.
THE FEMME FATAL‼️
Someone ask me for a book recommendation on that and this is what I will hand you. This is the most powerful book I’ve ever read. The women in this book are incredibly powerful.
All throughout the book it was genuinely one shock after the next and I’m living for it. (DIY colonoscopy)
I absolutely love Sula, she’s not hard to love, she’s an icon. Nel says she acts like a man, I say as she should.
And if this book is about friendship then it is to show the reality of a platonic soulmate. The type where your soulmate won’t come in the form of a romantic or sexual partner. But the type where they come in the form of a friend. One to balance out the other. When you see their faults, and you know they’re wrong, and they’re a bitch but you love them despite everything because that’s what love is. You cannot just stop loving someone with the snap of your fingers.
Tbh all the women in the book were icons. AND THE FIRES!? EVA GIRL‼️ Why’d you light your son on fire. Is it because he was a man? I’d get that. Allllsooo poor fucking chicken little. Like damn. Bro should’ve stayed up in that fucking tree. Then maybe he wouldn’t have been thrown into the lake or pond or whatever the fuck it was.
