4.0

I enjoyed this book. Heh maybe there's some catharsis about a group of black women plotting to steal the election? Some of the "history" speeches got a bit repetitive and I think overstated the paradox of black identity and "patriotism" in America. Sometimes I need an author to trust the reader enough to not have to fully repeat something as much. This is classified as a romance but the romance itself didn't feel vital to the plot. It felt more along the lines of romantic suspense or women's fiction. However, I am excited to check out the second book!
