I was originally on the fence about reading this one, as I'm aware it's YA and a thriller - I haven't read many thrillers and have been disappointed in the past. YA is fun, but sometimes it's too YA, if that makes sense? I was not disappointed by this book though, I loved it!

We jump right into the story, and I love that. No hesitation, just straight in. We get to know Devon and Chiamaka through their actions and responses to Ace's messages and threats, and the two of them are wildly different people. The difference between them truly shows - Chiamaka's blackness haven't given her much trouble in the past (from what the reader gets to know at least), while Devon lives in a poorer neighbourhood where blackness basicly equals gangsters. The different POVs truly added depth to the story and their characters. The timeline and pace worked out great, and the ending was nice and made sense from what we learned.

I loved it, and can't find anything to critique on it. I'm looking forward to Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé's new book Where Sleeping Girls Lie - I will definitely read it when it's published.
