At first I wasn't so sure what it was trying to say but then everything creeps in on you and sucks you in. I thought it was subtle enough with race issues that it didn't seem like it smacked you in the face but made you really think about it. I thought the characters were all believable and Briar added comedic relief which was great. I really enjoyed this book and would read more from Kiley Reid.

4.5

This book was thought-provoking. I could not put it down. Reid’s characters are fantastic and really drive the theme of the novel. Emira and Briar really suck you into the story, and Alix is masterfully written as the poster child of white feminism. I would recommend this book to anyone, really, as Reid’s writing is wonderful and insightful.

This book has a slow start but once you are in you're in! I did not want to put it down. I think the way racism is handled in this book is so interesting and important, especially as it pertains to racism in white spaces that espouse themselves as liberal. Highly recommend!!
