This book is just as good as everyone says it is. It’s a Carrie retelling, but with the added horrors of microaggressions and racial trauma. Maddy, the FMC, is biracial and white-passing, but her father forces her to live as though she is fully white. During her senior year, the truth about Maddy’s identity is revealed, and from there, the torment begins until she finally breaks.
This story is so well-written, and it definitely brought me back to high school, but not in a good way. I highly recommend this book.
