Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
5.0
Thank you to Fierce Reads & NetGalley for sending me this eARC!!
I recommend this book to absolutely EVERYONE, but ESPECIALLY if you love Gossip Girl, the movie Get Out, and dark academia. It has some of the best social commentary I've ever read. It is extremely well-paced and easy to follow. It's hard to say much about the plot itself without spoilers, but basically there's this anonymous entity called Aces who sends mass texts to the student body about our main characters' deepest darkest secrets (hence, Gossip Girl). The part that relates to Get Out, however, you're going to have to read to find out. The reveals are so well done, and they had me shocked, gasping, screaming, and utterly shook throughout the entire novel. This one is DEFINITELY going to be in my top 10 of 2021, hands down.
