Why did I wait so long to read this book? I’m honestly speechless, I was hooked from the first line. It made me feel so many emotions, from betrayal to proud to sad! I hated half the characters but honestly that’s what made the book so lovable and had me on the edge of my seat. Ugh abs the ending omg had me in tears, actually a lot of parts in this book had me in tears. Great read for thanksgiving, sorta. Can’t wait to recommend and real this again!!!
Graphic: Death, Racial slurs, Racism, and Transphobia
Minor: Sexual assault and Sexual content
Deals a lot with racism and how it affects those of color.
