This book was incredible. From the moment I started it, I couldn’t put it down - I found constant excuses to read instead of doing anything else. Some of Tavia and Effie’s issues can get a bit repetitive, but despite that, you’ll want to know who they are and how they’re going to face their challenges. It was particularly incredible the way that Bethany C Morrow intertwined fantasy with reality so beautifully and intricately that I’m not convinced this ISN’T the real Portland. 

I also really loved that Black Lives Matter was at the heart of this book and a central theme.
