I honestly did not think that Purple Hibiscus was a challenging book to read. The words written in the book however were very difficult to continue reading. I don't mean the actual words were hard to understand, I mean that the content throughout the book was rough. Abuse, gender roles, family. All of these things and many more were discussed throughout the book.
Abuse was a specifically difficult topic to read about. While reading through the scenes where abuse was present, my heart and body hurt for them. I enjoyed reading Purple Hibiscus, but I would have enjoyed a little bit more of a challenging book to read. However, the overall message of the book was very strong and very impacting on my life.
