I enjoyed the plot and writing. The characters all had very well rounded personalities and had intricate journeys. Which i found impressive as all of them had different perspectives and values. 

The conversations of grief, family, racism and black history was all thought provoking and insightful. 

I was very much thrown for a curve at the halfway point when the reveal shifts the story and it was very well done. 

I will be keeping an eye on this authors!
