The first few 100-ish pages made me believe that I was gonna rate this book 3 stars… but that plot twist? When everything first started making sense to us readers?? THAT. FREAKING. REVEAL??? Instant gut drop. No words. I normally don’t rate YA books that high, but this is a MUST READ, and is a really strong 5⭐️ Read.
My only ick about this book is that it at a certain point talks about twitter, which is a thing I usually hate when books does, but it absolutely made sense in this story, so I cannot complain.
Devon and Chiamaka are awesome main characters. It was a joy, and a nail biting anxiety, to follow along and cheer them on as they go through an actual living hell. Again, Jesus Christ, the tension in this book is at Rosemarys Baby’s level. Insane.
As a white person, I have no clue what it must feel like to experience racism, but the inside the book and the Authors note at the end really made me do some self reflection and some thinking. Ace Of Spades is definitely a read my fellow whites should check out.
