I absolutely loved this book. We're instantly thrown right into the plot and as a whole the book was fast paced. I decided to listen to it as an audiobook and thought the dual narration also flowed well and gave a larger impact to the story. This book is Gossip Girl meets Pretty Little Liars with hints of Get Out.
I was always wondering what "Aces" was going to do next. I also think there was a lot of social commentary woven throughout the story that was well placed, thought provoking and relevant. The characters mentioned were also, in my opinion, diverse in terms of their background, economic status and sexual orientation. I would definitely read another book by this author!
