Very disappointing. I can get over the writing style which isn't bad, just not great, but I couldn't get over the 'twist'. I figured it out at the same point as another reviewer (p 165) and was deeply, deeply disappointed right away.

The only black woman? The deeply sexualised one? The one that up until that point had been a series of descriptions of her cheekbones?

Okay. 

The idea for this was amazing and I loved that. Really just let down by the reveal, that's all. I'd love to see more books like this but, well, better.
