Trouble the Saints by Alaya Dawn Johnson

adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

This book, y'all. This book. It's mysterious. It's angry. It' complex. I loved it. I was loving it.

And then the last 10 pages! wtf?

I still do love it. But also I feel like it punched me directly in the face.
