A terrifying and cute story about race, blackmail, and love.
What happens when you write all your deepest darkest secrets in your journal, and someone steals it? What happens when that person also starts to blackmail you?
Quinn’s journal is her life. She writes lists upon lists, of all the things she can’t say out loud. Now she has to find out who took her journal and why, before the blackmailer exposes all of her secrets—including a huge lie she told her parents and her entire school.
For the most part I enjoyed this book. It was cute and had a bit of a romantic factor to it. This book was heavily centered around race, and betrayal—which was so uncool.
Ultimately, it’s about finding your voice, and standing up for yourself in the end.
