The book was entertaining enough to finish but I wish it gave way more. The stakes didn’t feel as high as I would have liked until the very end and by that point there wasn’t enough time to explore the reveal. 

I wish the entire community had worked with Sydney and Theo toward the reveal of the hospital’s testing. If the message is that the community is working together like always, then why wouldn’t anyone include Sydney? I can accept Sydney not reaching out because she was solitary in everything throughout the book. But why wouldn’t the neighbors speak with her? Did I miss times when they wanted to include her on their plans to burn down the hospital? It would have been more interesting for me if the main characters weren’t a lone team. I also wasn’t wowed by each character’s reveal. Theo stole money and lied on his resume. Okay.. Sydney buried her mom in the community garden and then the other people in the community at the end just casually mention that they moved the body for her??? Like what were the stakes? Messy.

I had high hopes for this book seeing as it is set in Brooklyn and that <i>was</i> fun but the story wasn’t as strong as I hoped. I wanted Get Out levels of intrigue and intensity but didn’t get that.

Glad Kim got what was coming to her!!!
