The plot of this kept me very entertained, and I thought it had some valid points to make on racial capitalism and gentrification. I cringed at several points while reading: both when I felt like Darren was being targeted and when he turned into a villain. I will say - some of it (especially the advice) came off as corny to me. The ending also has me like ???? and not in a good way
