This book does not end with a complete “happy ending”. There’s something to be said about small towns across the US that are heavily segregated with many “folk tales”. There are truths in every tale we are told if we take time to decipher them and trace their origins.
I will be purchasing a copy of this book for my personal library, I loved it so much!

No you didn’t. Blending supernatural and cultural horrors of what it means to live in this country right now, particularly for Black and Brown folks, the reader is faced with the horrors of this country’s basis in wealth and racial inequity. The central through line ringing loud in the readers’ mind is and should be: how is it that women of color, Black women in this instance, go missing without anyone blinking an eye?
Inventive, haunting, and original, great debut by Adams.
