The author stated that she wrote this during a dark time in her life and although she didn’t experience the extreme of Aces, she did experience similar feelings. I think a lot of us have at some point. I think with her being in such a dark place while writing this story, she truly brought to the light the dark and ugly treatment of BIPOC in schools and how our education and experiences can be altered depending on the school we go to and who we are around.
The character development was strong due to the dual POVs. That really gave me time to get to know the characters and sort of predict their next move or thoughts. I enjoyed the ending. I feel complete.
Moderate: Racism
Minor: Rape
