    I went into this one completely blind and I’m glad I did. I never knew what was going to happen next and was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The novel is such an insightful look at race, the publishing industry, jealousy, and grief. The narrator was perfectly unlikable and pitiful which brought the whole thing together perfectly. I can’t wait to read this one again soon!
