Guys… this book is INCREDIBLE!! I’ve heard so many good things about it recently so I’ve been looking forward to picking it up but it far exceeded my expectations! First off, this book has a really powerful message about racism that I think everyone would benefit from reading! Second, it has really great queer rep!

I listened to the audiobook of this one and both of the narrators were really great! The story kept me engaged the entire time and I didn’t want to stop listening to it. Also I spent the entire book not trusting anyone and I was so stressed out the entire time! I felt all the emotions, I was angry, I was sad, I was happy, I was terrified, and everything in between. The whole time I was listening, all I could think about was how great of a tv show this book would make and I NEED it to happen now!

1000000% recommend this to everyone! But especially if you like dark academia, thrillers that keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time, and stories with complex characters and a storyline that makes you feel everything so deeply. I truly think this is a book that everyone should read though!
