Whoa. 4.5 stars.

In a dark mix of Gossip Girl meets Dear White People (and I've heard Get Out, but haven't seen that movie), Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé brings us a twisty thriller full of secrets, betrayal, and suspense. 

At Niveus Private Academy, Chiamaka and Devon are the only two black students. They're also the only two targets of anonymous, life-ruining texts being sent to the student body. Unsure of how far the texts will go and what secrets will be uncovered, Chiamaka and Devon try to uncover who is behind Aces and who they can trust so that their futures aren't destroyed.

This book was intense! Holy smokes. I didn't expect such dark themes in a YA book, but if we're honest about it, racism is always dark. If you like thrillers, this is a must-read. Loved all of the unexpected twists!
