This book balanced humour and hope with a dark, reflective subject matter. I loved main character, Emira, and constantly rooted for her. The two side characters of Kelley and Alix are so important in the sense that you definitely know people like them and maybe you are a little bit them, but they infuriate you and disappoint you. It discusses race and privilege in such a nuanced and personal story that felt so relatable and connected.

This book was thought-provoking. I could not put it down. Reid’s characters are fantastic and really drive the theme of the novel. Emira and Briar really suck you into the story, and Alix is masterfully written as the poster child of white feminism. I would recommend this book to anyone, really, as Reid’s writing is wonderful and insightful.

This book has a slow start but once you are in you're in! I did not want to put it down. I think the way racism is handled in this book is so interesting and important, especially as it pertains to racism in white spaces that espouse themselves as liberal. Highly recommend!!
