While this isn’t my favorite Morrison that I’ve read, it still has everything that I’ve come to love and expect from her work. Layered, complicated characters with layered, complicated relationships with each other, and absolutely beautiful prose. I loved this exploration of girlhood, friendship, sex and sexuality, and the social pressures that bring us together or pull us apart.

Incredible. Morrison never misses. The more I read of her catalogue the more I am in awe of her technical skill and her emotional precision. The last line made me cryyyyyy
