first five star of 2024.

i would like to apologize to all of the dinners i ruined with friends, my boyfriend, family, and other loved ones because i could not stop talking about the brilliant, dark, vibe-ruining concept of this book.

this was my first toni morrison, my first new favorite of the year, and the first time in a long time i've been completely dumbstruck while reading.

beautifully written, cleverly constructed, populated with unforgettable moments and characters.

i don't know what to say!

bottom line: a book that makes me speechless. a nearly impossible feat.
