This was such a good, readable book. Does that make sense? “Readable” What I mean is that it was easy to follow, easy to connect with, easy to think you had it figured out (I didn’t) I enjoyed the pacing of the storyline and the back and forth between the neighbors. I wasn’t expecting the ending to be as it was and maybe I was silly not to but I really was surprised how everything  some about. This was a solid new release from my library.

I liked this one okay. The racism is very overt from the beginning. Watching all the neighborhood's house of cards fall down as a result of it was an enjoyable schadenfreude experience.
