I enjoy the person voicing this story. The whirlwind, the emotions, the twists and turns, the truths & lies. This book had me sighing, grunting, cursing out lout to the characters as if I was right there in the story.

It's such an amazing book. I didn't know the books I read before were poorly written until I started this one. Most plots you can't even see coming, the amount of load gasps that scared my partner are more than I van count. The curses and holy sht and omg that kept leaving my mouth, the shock so big my mouth hung open, well written feels like an understatement. Twists and turns and new revelations just kept coming. The way she writes about black history in America is amazingly well done. The casual writing around queer people is impressive. And the insaly smooth set ups that leave you shocked make me yearn for more and make it hard to put the book away. This book was so good, I feel like an addict craving more and more of the story. Everytime you think you know where the story is going, it changes, the plots you think you see coming are bigger than you can imagine and the vindication you feel towards the end is amazing. I'm excited to see what the next book brings, cause after this one, I'm expecting to be pulled into greatness real fast once I press play
