Damn. The title of the book is ridiculously accurate. And, aside from a rogue editing error, it's quite well done. I'm impressed.

Love this!! I hate the cliffhanger, but it was expected as it's a "duet" book.

I am going to die waiting for the second part, now!

Absolutely amazing! While some of the descriptions were a bit graphic, it really helped set the scenes. I did like the cross-over with [b:Soledad|30120179|Soledad (Dark Republic #1)|D.L. Young|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1462504439s/30120179.jpg|50368610]. The books take place across the same time frame rather than sequentially. They meet up at the end, though, and now I'm really excited for the third book!

Very different from the Netflix show, but also very entertaining. The only reason it's not five stars is because there were a few things that bugged me, like the math teacher and the math test - they just seemed off to me. But other than that it was awesome!

Eh. It's not bad, but it's not great. Just a short bit about a weird girl who meets a guy and tries to tone down her weirdness and anxiety.

This book was a birthday present and I couldn't ask for a better book on my birthday!

I absolutely adored the idea of this book when John Oliver first talked about it and then, when I found it was going to be a real book, I almost lost my mind! It 100% lives up to the hype and it's adorable and wonderful and lovely! <3

As amazing as the movie was, the book was naturally and expectedly better! 💙 It made me all sappy and mushy and reminds me why I sometimes love humans.

This book made me incredibly uncomfortable at times - mostly because of the use of the "n" word uncensored; I was listening to the book and I don't think I've ever heard that word (with a hard "r" sound) so many times! - but it also made me think.

I will definitely be referring back to this book in the future and I'll be recommending it to several people. I think it's biggest easy take-away is this list:

1. It is about race if a person of color thinks it is about race.
2. It is about race if it disproportionately or differently affects people of color.
3. It is about race if it fits into a broader pattern of events that disproportionately or differently affect people of color.

Note that I said "easy take-away" because there is so much more to this book, but if you read it in a half-assed manner and literally get just one thing from it, make it that list. Especially number one.

This is my first dive into the writings of Nnedi Okorafor and I'm so glad I stumbled across her name in an article one day. This was brilliant! I can't wait to read her longer works!

One of the most unique and fascinating sci-fi stories I've read in years. I loved it!
