reading slump is OVER!!!!! THANK GOD!!! 

I'm so glad I finally read this book it's fucking WILD. I don't think I have read a book in a Long time with such well done twists. 

I'm trying to think of what I can say without spoilers but just,,,wowie. Private school drama???? Incredible. The way the author instills this sense of fear and in paranoia in both readers and characters is like, seriously insane. I never knew what was going to happen next. I was absolutely going BONKERS. Dark academia with black queer leads and mysteries and secrets!!! Incredible!!

I listened to this on audio while reading it because it is dual pov and the narration was Fantastic. Dual narrators really made me feel connected to these characters and their families like they were real people going through real events. Definitely listen to it if you can.

One thing to note is this book deals very heavily, and openly with antiblack racism. It is central to the story. It also covers many instances of homophobia and classism as well, so I would encourage readers to check trigger warnings (which are listed in the front of the book, and author's website) before reading.

All in all Faridah Àbíké Íyímídé is a wonderfully talented storyteller, I cannot wait to read more of her work!
