I feel like the foreshadowing of the plot twist made the twist fizzle out once revealed. It was so hyped that nothing would ever live up to it. I do think by the very end the author was able to turn it back around. I truly enjoyed the first 250 or so pages. I feel the description of the main character's experience as a woman of color was poorly written.
