Devon and Chiamaka are the only two black kids in a prestigious private academy, opposites in terms of social status but brought together when they're both targeted by an anonymous person digging up and spreading their secrets around to everyone in the school.
"Ace of Spades" was one of my most anticipated reads this year. After reading the excerpt I was a little less excited, but I still knew I wanted to read it. That is to say the writing isn't really to my tastes. But both the main characters being queer and the promise of the plot was too good to pass up. I'm glad I read it; it was such an addictive page-turner and I really came to love both Devon and Chiamaka.
I won't give any of the twists away, as I think it's best to go in blind. I read some other opinions on how things play out, though, and... I just want to say that exaggeration, no matter how unbelievable, can sometimes play an important role in storytelling.
