Still Got That On The Shelf: Books Every Black Girl Read Back In The Day

The Bluest Eye
Really, I don’t like to think about this book like that because reading it was emotionally exhausting. The traumatizing story of the character Pecola Breedlove, and her wish for blue eyes and beauty that she feels her black skin and curly hair doesn’t provide, stays with you long after you finish the book. The Bluest Eye is one of Toni Morrison’s best books (it’s also her first).
