Read this book! Aside from the fact that this book is an amazing education in the Black experience in and of itself, it's a gripping thriller that keeps building with a cast of characters that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Definitely the best thriller I've read ever. Zakiya Dalila Harris is a fantastic writer exhibited for me in her ability to express that uncomfortable and confusing feeling of envry you can find brewing when someone similar to you enters a space you occupied alone.
