I read this for school but don't get it twisted; the fact that this was required reading had absolutely no hinderance on my enjoyment of this.

I really really loved the writing style. It was so beautiful and seemed to romanticize every aspect of life. But there were so many plot points or lines of dialogue that just had me asking “why? But... but why?” I really couldn't get into the story, and that might be because this just wouldn't have been something I would've picked up on my own.

Also, there's definitely something to be said about how schools have us read stories about racism from a white character's POV and by a white author.
