maybe I need to sit with it for a while

⭐️⭐️ I didn’t like this. The overall story is unique but it is being overly compared to Get Out. VERY slow start and overall flat. It didn’t feel like it was written for black women. Some good aspects about office politics, diversity, women in the workplace, and crabs in a bucket mentality.

The sci fi twist threw me for a loop and I’m not sure the underlying message hit the way the author intended

I’m so bummed I didn’t like this - I was really looking forward to it! I did not enjoy the plot, and I thought the book was too long for the story. It didn’t dive as deep as I was hoping and the bulk of the book is just background info that felt unnecessary.

Such a phenomenal book! A thriller, surely, but it's an engrossing novel not only because of the mystery, but also because of its deep, honest portrayals of race, society, ambition, and friendships.

As the description says, very Get Out vibes! I can’t say I was expecting the ending but as everything fell into place, it all made sense. Very sci-fi aspect of what causes these changes so that is interesting. Some was hard to keep up with different character povs but that’s probably because I listened to it.
