I went into this a little wary because I tend to not really like thriller books all that much. I was very surprised! This is a young adult book that follows Chiamaka and Devon at a very prestigious academy. I found the characters to be well developed and relatable at times and the plot was fast-paced and filled with tension.

I enjoyed this author writing for the most part. I also really really loved the dark academia portion of this novel.

One thing that I think this novel did well was the way it dealt with heavy topics. (It deals with homophobia, institutionalized racism, white supremacy, etc etc) In my opinion, these topics were discussed well.

The pacing of this book was pretty good in my opinion and for a debut novel, it is excellent!! I will for sure be checking out her other works.

If all of this wasn't enough, it also has a diverse cast of characters and rep! (lgbtq+, and cultural rep)
