Where Sleeping Girls Lie
by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
Wow. I have Ace of Spades on my shelf at home. Have I picked it up? No. Will I now? Yes.
Àbíké-Íyímídé has us in a fancy schmancy boarding school with all the usual tomfoolery and misdeeds. But this one is so much deeper. The back story of Sade and how her backstory then ties in to the current time-- perfectly executed. I found the secondary characters to be well developed and most had redeeming qualities. And that ending...
I did not find the story to be outlandish in any way as we know stuff like this sadly occurs. We know of the people who get away with stuff due to who they are or their social standing.
My only qualm was the pacing at times. But honestly, that's probably more of a me thing.
I highly recommend this book.
