Carrie was based off this book, change my mind

this was an atmospheric/spooky-ish, infuriating and just down right great read!

The themes of racism throughout this novel was just downright infuriating, but the lessons were plenty and relevant - Ms. Jackson never strays from incorporating difficult topics into her books and I commend her for that each and every time!

While this wasn’t as spooky as White Smoke, there’s definitely a spooky/horror-ish vibe to it that makes it perfect for the Fall season!

I listened to the audio for this via Audible and the narration and production was incredible! I loved the storytelling mixed with the podcast format and def recommend giving this one a listen!

Thank you to NetGalley and HCC Frenzy / HarperCollins Canada for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!
