Super promising first chapter. Love how it segues into Pontius Pilate.

Really enjoying

Really picks up

The yearning begins. So touching and tender at times. Interesting to see how Miss Grey exerts her will and resists social stratification in small, calculated jabs. Some imaginary while others of potentially immense import. I hope she ends up with Mr. Weston.

Choppy writing but captivating story. Morbid and grotesque

Started on audiobook a month or two ago. I’ve just continued on a paper copy

It’s interesting the way Korede as a child was always protecting Ayoola from men, in this instinctive almost compulsory way and now she thinks her sister is the monster

The relationship between the sisters intrigues me though, especially Korede’s resentment toward. Ayoola and the latter’s aloofness and lack of any real empathy for her sister. But Korede is so unreliable I cannot be sure. She thinks all men are perfect in many ways and her sister is not. Her jealousy is obvious when he described how her sister’s beauty ensorcels men, but she defends men she finds beautiful.

Easy to read; lacking depth in some ways. Every character is insufferable but that does not detract, but belies my enjoyment. Largely by peeving me. I’m excited to see where it goes

I assigned a brief innocuous excerpt for my seventh graders to identify examples of imagery. Really beautiful, riveting, gripping and disturbing writing.

I’m curious to see where this will go

super vivid

i got a bit lost in the last few pages
