This book was amazing, I devoured it in two days and could hardly put it down. It was such a wild ride, and really eye opening. I loved the growing friendship between Chiamaka and Devon even if they came from different backgrounds, and the ending swept me off my feet. The queer representation was fantastic as well. I will absolutely recommend this book till the day I die.
