A review by girlreading
Spin by Lamar Giles
4.0
Not only does this book feature a brilliantly gripping mystery, it also superbly explores the all too prevalent and dangerous issue regarding the lack of interest/effort from the public and police when it comes to looking for justice for crimes against Black girls and women.
Despite a somewhat slow start, I found myself entirely hooked to this story. I loved Kya, Fuse and Paris's distinct voices (which were especially well portrayed in the audiobook narration).
It's got a gripping mystery, fantastic social commentary, a wonderful slow burn friendship, powerful teens, exploration of the dark side of fandoms and some Veronica Mars style detective work. Basically, this book has truly got it all.
