Reviews with content warning for Racism - Ace of Spades

This book is such a good read as it touches on very real issues such as racism, classism, homophobia, etc. The first half of the book is a build up and things get intense quickly in the second half. Definitely a read if you enjoy Gossip Girl-esque settings with Get Out thriller vibes!

A really well-done debut novel that tackles the topic of systemic racism as a reflection of our society. I don't think there was any way for me to predict how and where this novel would go but it I was on the edge of my seat as the story unraveled.

Anyways, this book wasn't at all what I expected from the synopsis and while I feel like the depths of each character could've been explored more, it still was a really interesting read! I recommend reading the author's note after finishing the book.

Beware of thinking this to be a light reading.
Completely astonished how this Gossip Girl story turned into sth so dark so quickly without it being too much.
