This story is very Pretty Little Liars meets Get Out and I fear that if you aren’t a fan of both of those, you might not get through the book.
While the overall twist was quite predictable, the smaller twists and endings weren’t so it didn’t completely set me off. What did put me off a bit was the absolutely ridiculous choices the characters make…
Also, gay! 😍

Update: It has been a couple of months since I read it and I can tell all of you reading this review, hand to the heart, it is constantly in the back of my head. I have started my own journey towards becoming an anti-racist, and this book is one of the many reasons why.
