    An emotional, hopeful story about sisterhood and the power of black girls' voices. A perfect mix of fantasy and social discussion. Tavia & Effie are such compelling, likable characters and I love the sister relationship between them! The injustice of this world parallels situations in real life and sometimes I would burn with anger over what was happening to these girls, especially relating to the Rhonda Taylor situation and how the adults in both the girls live's were ruled by fear and therefore tried to dictate things for them. The plot twist was super interesting and gave the story another dimension, and I really liked how it tied everything up, though I thought the final chapter was too happily ever after too quickly after that BIG showdown. Also, I have to talk about Naemia....this girl is just unsufferable. I can't imagine what Bethany did to make her more likable to readers since she's the MC in book 2. I don't care to read about her perspective of things, because I can't really stand her, so I don't think I'll pick the sequel.

    Unlikable, generic characters, people hating on the FMC for no reason, a plot that circles on itself and a choppy writing....nop, count me out. Made it to 53% and that was more than I could take.
