Being inside of Harlem’s mind was a treat. 😂 Can’t really say too much without spoiling the story but the big reveal was pretty clever. I was cackling at Phyllis doing her lil dance at the end.

This book was quite disturbing and weird. Did not see the twist coming at the end at all.

Wow!!! That was only 50 pages and wow! 

Harlem is...... Scary, real, unapologetic, black, traumatized, antisocial....

I could not believe what happened. I'm still sitting here like what?!?! Are you sure that happened?? 

To be so short the characters, the setting, the plot... Was all so well developed. 

Read this!! That is all.

This one left me a bit confused on what was going on. Hopefully my next EJD book will be better.

A quick read and in classic EJD style, there’s an unexpected twist. I didn’t expect it since it was so short but it was well done and a reminder why he was one of the best to do it.
