This book is the 'lightest' among her other works. Before I read this book, I thought I'd get a plot twist as surprising as the one on Monday's not Coming. And I was wrong.
As always, Tiffany could hook you without as much as an effort to get you on an adventure with our three main characters; Quady, Rell, and Jazz. Although I lack connection with her characters here, her writing is always perfect for me.
You know, if I could concentrate better and put my expectation in the right direction, I'll probably like this more.
This book is perfect for you if you like historical fiction books with hip hop culture.

Headline: Three Kids From Brooklyn Pull Off the Biggest Heist in Hip-Hop History
A few days ago, I decided to go binge listen through Jackson’s books via audiobooks, and y’all every time I do-it’s a masterpiece. The audiobooks for her books are absolutely GORGEOUS, STUNNING AND I ALWAYS GET CHILLS FROM LISTENTING TO THEM. Jackson’s books are so gorgeous and I keep falling in love with him, mostly because the narrator(s) in her books.
