There was a bit more profanity than I expected going in, but the teen characters voices ring as authentic. The various narrators helped keep me engaged throughout.maralaene's review

While this wasn’t my favorite book, I do think it was worth a read. This book celebrates black culture and female empowerment and it is so awesome to read about a super smart, badass FMC (yay math 😁) in a book about video games!
The narrators also did a phenomenal job for anyone who listens! The French POVs were awesome.

Kira was such a fantastic character. I loved seeing her vulnerability and how she educates people around her about race.
This novel truly feels like the authors love letter to her community. I am so grateful that I was able to read this novel before Republicans ban this book for being "Racist" like they are doing to other black authors writing about black experience.
Moderate: Racial slurs, Racism, Death, Misogyny, Murder, Cultural appropriation, Sexism, Toxic relationship, and Violence
Minor: Police brutality
This books talks about most of the mentioned content warnings in an informative way, not a derogatory way.
