Lots of racial themes brought to the forefront and never actually addressed. Entertaining but not my favorite read.

This is one of my favorite “time to make a point” books of all time. I’ve met every single one of these characters at some point in my life, and I wouldn’t even say they’re all bad people. I’ve never read a story so grounded in reality, yet so fast paced and engaging.

I enjoyed this book for the most part but the ending was really sad and just.... disappointing

Very good. 11/10. Excellently written and handled a complex topic very well.
This isn’t a longer review because I don’t really have anything bad to say. I thought the ending was kind of abrupt but also that fit with the rest of the book? The theme of my recent reviews seems to be that I have a problem with endings lol

This was a fun read, while also highlighting the issues with performative activism and woke culture. It'll definitely make you think.

Pretty good, but all I have to say is Alix Chamberlain was pretty annoying and needed to pay better attention to Briar :/.
