So I was led to believe this book was about ✨friendship and girlhood✨, but it’s Toni Morrison. Of course, she just about broke my heart with this one. Between the very real situations Black folks found themselves in post-slavery and the very human experience of grieving lost friendships, I was deep in my feelings. As far as I know, Beloved was the only book of Morrison’s to be adapted into a movie, so I’m ready for another one.
Sidebar, we don’t talk about Beloved enough as a society and how often it gets excluded from conversations about the horror genre. But that’s a discussion for another day!
