📚 Wow, this book totally blew me away. This what if Black women were sirens idea is an incredible way to play with the way we often label Black women superhuman and then punish them for it.
📚 Obviously, it's a heavier book than your usual YA fantasy, but wow is it worth it if you're up for it.
📚 I loved both Tavia and Effie, and watching them find themselves - their true selves. On top of the larger social issues the girls are dealing with, Morrow also totally nails those awkward teenage feelings, especially the parts about how suddenly your best friend can be a stranger to you.
📚 I feel like I say this a lot, but I truly have never read anything like this book. I cannot wait for book two and to return to this world.
