I was initially drawn to this story for the Gossip Girl vibes. I was such a fan of the twisted world of Gossip Girl. This book delivered and then some! Main characters, Devon Richards & Chiamaka Adebayo, are the only 2 black students in Niveus Academy, a prestigious high school known for getting students into top tier colleges. All is going well, until senior year when someone identifying as “Aces” begins sending incriminating texts airing students’ past crimes, scandals, and embarrassing moments. The MC’s quickly figure out they’re the main targets of these texts and their high school enrollment, as well as future college dreams are in jeopardy.
This book tackles many topics including systemic racism, homophobia, gaslighting, and classism. The author does a beautiful job weaving this story between the perspective of the 2 MCs while bringing such life to the overall high school environment. This book holds a powerful message and I encourage all to read it. Learn from it.
