This book also discusses micro-agressions and the systemic racism black people have to go through in the systems set up by white supremacy. This book is also so deeply disturbing I cried multiple times. Because everyone is fucked up and I need people to read it.

Their relationships and interactions with other people did not feel believable and honestly just strange,
I would have also liked to see more of the supposedly best friendship between Devon and Andre and
The reveal and ending felt super unrewarding and very sudden and there were a lot of small plots that just weren't resolved,
I understand that this book deals a lot with systemic racism and I'm in no position to judge it on how this was executed. I'm merely talking about the characters and the plot itself, both lacking a significant amount of depth that could have needed at least 100 pages more exploration.
Also, who signs their texts with their initial?
