Oh my godness! The twists! The turns! Chiamaka and Devon are the only two Black kids at an elite private high school. As their senior year begins, an anonymous person known only as "Aces" begins targeting them and outing their secrets, forcing two people from opposite ends of the social heirarchy to team up to find out who is out to get them and why. An amazing read for anyone looking for Black and queer protagnoists taking on systemic racism.

Holy fucking shit is literally all I have to say about this book. Why did it take me so long to read this? I’m pissed.

This was like Solitaire and Pretty Little Liars mixed if they
were way more serious, racially motivated, and was an entire fucking cult.
