Sisters Tavia and Effie live in Portland, in a society that aims to keep them down. They are dealing with the struggles of being teenagers in a society filled with sexism and racism and a magical society that discriminates as well. Finding a voice, suppressing magic and juggling school, friends, family, love, hobbies and activism are just all a part of the routine for these two girls.

Oh this book. The urban fantasy setting was so perfect. It paralleled the current world setting with the same issues and challenges Black women have to deal with, with a whole new layer of magical challenges.
