Amira is the nanny for the Chamberlin family. She mostly watches their 2 year old (who is super adorable in the book). Her boyfriend and her boss have an unexpected connection that drives the story.
I really enjoyed the first half of the book up until the boyfriend and the boss met. The pettiness of the adults bugged me though. I loved all the sweet moments between Amira and Briar.

Okay, so I did not know what to expect when I started this, or more accurately I was expecting something other than what we got. I knew this was a book that starts off with a young black baby sitter being accused of kidnapping by some rich white lady and a security guard at a fancy grocery store. What I did NOT expect was to get a LOT of perspectives from the white people in her life and how all those things tied together after the incident.
It was an interesting perspective and I like what was done with it. I think the exploration was done well. Part of me wanted more/different in the end and another part of me appreciates how it was handled.

This was a crowd favorite so I was very excited to read it. I enjoyed it but it was very slow and I kept waiting for something to happen to really send it for me and I felt like that never happened. If I hadn't had high expectations I may have enjoyed it more without expecting something big to happen. I did really like how well the author was able to portray different perspectives and felt that this book really exemplified why things aren't black and white in the world and that we all live in the gray.
