Am I the only one who wanted Celie and Shug to run away together? Live in a nice round cottage while Shug sang and Celie made pants? I cannot believe it took me this long to read the book. Only took me 2 days as I was sucked in.

I took off a star because I wasn't too interested in Nettie's life in Africa. I wanted more time dedicated to Celie coming into her own. I also wanted more justice done for her. The men in this book were all trash minus Samuel and Adam.
