Ace of Spades follows two different perspectives, Chiamaka and Devon, top of their class and the only two black kids their prestigious high school. Things are going good until a mystery texter known as “Aces” starts sending out messages, all conveniently only targeting Chi & Devon. With all their secrets coming out, it’s only a matter of time until something deadly happens 😈
This book is pitched as Gossip Girl meets Get Out, which I’m loving, but also I’m liking the social commentary and the difficulties being queer and black both characters are facing.
Likes:
-the two main characters perspectives are friends, helping each other out, that don’t turn into a romance between them. I like that they had their own lives and story plot lines
The only reason I’m taking off a star is bc I feel like the beginning kind of dragged and I wish we could have spent more time with chi and Devon fighting against
