The stars aligned when I read that this was Roxane Gay’s favorite book from 2021 and I had a few days left in my loan but hadn’t started. Great characters and fast-paced plot, and bonus it takes place in VA! Heads up - a lot of violence.

Not my fave my this author but still enjoyed it. The plot was great and so were the characters but some of them felt a little flatter than his usual.
