There Is Confusion by Jessie Redmon Fauset

4.0

what a funny little exploration. i think that ,when done well, a hateable protagonist is one of the worlds greatest joys. i hated joanna so deeply. and yet, i sort of loved this. i think it was dynamic, i think that the variance in people was gratifying, i think it was an adventure. it is certainly not without flaws, and it is a frustrating read. the ending is interesting and I'm not sure if i love it or if i hate it deeply. but the story over all shows a pocket of black life i haven't seen written about before and that was so very interesting to delve into. the minds of these people, their heads, was just so curious. the character development was deep. it really was a character driven story and these people felt real and palpable. i beautiful, strong, impactful 4.5 stars
