This is sooooo good! So many good details, like the way Briar talks (authors often get kiddie dialogue wrong), the way Alix is reduced to a teenager around her ex-boyfriend, the contrast between the two groups of female friends, the code-switching language, the complexities of the different characters...... Just loved this so much!

This book was a WILD ride. Even though the last chapters tied up many loose ends, I still came away with more questions - about morality, race, and manipulation - than answers, but I think that's a good thing. Reid does a fantastic job of showcasing the grey areas in her characters' relationships and personalities. It's incredible how much I as a reader ended up sympathizing with the bad gal (and also bad, but less bad??, guy). Really well-written and a fascinating story. Thank you, Kiley Reid!
