White Smoke was a slow burn. I had tried a couple of times to get into it and felt it a little lackluster to start but once I hit maybe the 50 page range, I was so intrigued. The author did a phenomenal job of introducing points of interest without immediately divulging every bit of backstory so it kept my interest piqued, and when you finally learned everything (like the details with the ex) it was more satisfying. She treated us like Mari treated Erika and Yusef at first and waited a bit to fully open up. I do love that the ending is jam-packed with excitement and I think the problems laid out in the book come to a good resolution, but man, I want to see what Mari could accomplish with the knowledge she gained.
I think the hyper fixation on bedbugs and the craving for weed was written in a way that people dealing with anxiety can relate to and I’m happy both plot lines were included as they were used as tools quite beautifully.
This was my first Tiffany D Jackson book and I’m already eager to read more.
