I'll admit the first third-ish of this book seemed to drag. However, when it picks up, it was difficult to stop reading! Tavia and Effie have a wonderful sister bond and I loved the way they had each other's backs. The discourse on racism, hate crimes, and what it means to be a Black woman hits. I did NOT see the big reveal coming until right before it happened. I love the ending and thought it was perfect.
Graphic: Hate crime, Misogyny, and Racism
Moderate: Police brutality
Minor: Suicide and Death of parent
