ngl, that was... a lot
but it wasn't bad a lot? it was all very obviously well thought out and planned, and at one point i never felt too overwhelmed by the information that was necessary to know to understand what was going on. it really helped 1000% to listen to the audiobook, especially hearing some of the words being pronounced, in order to keep everything on track.
i can imagine it gets a little difficult keeping up with everything but it kind of felt like a mini series binged and i absolutely loved that. i *also* loved how tracy deonn was unafraid to call out a lot of behavior, from weird things like touching bree's hair (y'all wtf stop doing that) to white people calling every BIPOC college student they see "affirmative action". lots of heartwarming and heartbreaking moments, and also a swoon worthy white love interest (that's right i said it)
it really did feel like a TV show especially with the audiobook, but it was an exceptionally written one that did not leave any plot holes or too much time between important plot points and thus avoided any pacing problems. cannot wait for the rest of this series!
