Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
4.0

3.5 stars. This is a great debut book that kept me intrigued the whole way. It does great things for demonstrating the racism that exists around the world against black people. I didn’t like it as much as I wanted to though. I think the twists were a bit predictable and I found characters annoying at times. I also was personally affected by the random mention of a character having type 1 diabetes but then nothing was done with it. I was excited for the rep but then majorly disappointed.
