I finished this book in under 24 hours it was so good. The author does a great job of building suspense, making you feel the unease that Devon and Chi feel, and making you really sympathize with them. They're both wonderful characters and I love them so much, tbh.
The depth of the racism these characters experience is nothing new and the author really showed how it's spread across all divides. Even the racism you experience in your own home when having a white parent.
