This book was so interesting to read from start to finish. The main character June, represents the white supremacy ideology so well that it was uncomfortable to read at times😂 I never thought I’d feel anger while reading a story. I will say it’s difficult to like most of the characters in the book, they all have their own reasonings for their behaviour which is valid and invalid at the same time (of course June had a victim complex so not her💀)  
At times I did think the book was slow paced but it fit the context of the book as it’s written in Junes POV and shows the complexities of being an author. 


The ending caught me off guard, i had a feeling Candice would return after being fired. She was very clever on how to get revenge for June basically making her homeless. Overall, I enjoyed the book and liked how it spoke about tokenism. It shows the effects of racism from the victim and oppressor
