🧠 My thoughts 

This book definitely had a good concept of reverse racism. The social commentaries were on point, and they made me think more about this topic. 

However, I felt like something got lost in the process of transforming the book into a graphic novel. Perhaps in the original book, the social commentaries had a greater impact than this, because I felt that it lacked a punch. Some things didn't make sense to me as well.

For example, Sephy didn't meet Callum for 2 years, but then agreed to meet him to get kidnapped. While being kept hostage, she still trusted him enough to sleep with him?

. The ending felt so rushed that I felt like the pacing got weird toward the end. 

👍 What I like 

• Interesting concept
• Social commentaries are on point

👎 What I don’t like

• The execution is off sometimes
• Lacks a punch
