Really great book
Overall, I thought this was a really great book!
The representation in this book was absolutely fantastic. The majority of the characters were people of color, and some of the characters also identified as LGBTQ+.
I'm a big fan of stories that are character-driven, which this story is. I found the characters to be interesting, and I enjoyed learning more and more about this family, from their secrets to their trauma. I also enjoyed seeing the dynamic between the three girls--Avery, Simone, and Jade.
There were a lot of deep, serious issues discussed in this narrative, but I personally thought they were handled well. It was heavy, and there were definitely messy moments in the plot at times, but it certainly struck me in a good way. It was both a heavy and quick read for me.
The only critique I really have is the ending--I was hoping for a bigger/clearer reveal to the mystery element. But overall, I enjoyed and would recommend this book!
