I look forward to reading anything Reid creates in the future! Her characters and dialogue feel extremely genuine. I was never able to predict what was going to happen next. My only beef with this book is that the ending felt rushed and out of character for Emira. I loved the mini epilogue that showed the main characters in different, but not necessarily better, places than they were at the beginning of the story. This is a realistic and fast-paced story about race, class, and performative activism.
