Definitely worth the hype! Bree is such a strong character and goes through a lot development in dealing with the grief of the loss of her mom. Many of the characters are lovable and go through their own character development as well. I think my biggest complaint is that I found the world building confusing. I feel it all makes sense for the most part by the end, but it’s just a lot. 
Ps: Sel is way better than Nick. Brelwyn ftw.

Oh. My. God. What a book. I can’t wait to read the sequel. Tracy Deonn beautifully dissects the topics of grief, racism, misogyny and micro-aggressions. Stellar example of Black Excellence.
