Book Review
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️
Method Of Reading: My ereader
Book Publication Date: October 31 2023
How I Acquired Book: Purchased on Amazon and Bookshop.org (I didn’t realize you have to read it on the bookshop org app, and I need my books on my ereader, thankfully it is $2 on sale so it was $4 and I ended up supporting a local bookstore, so no one lost.)
Pre-read Thoughts: I keep seeing and hearing about this book and I placed a library hold a WHILE ago but it’s popular so I have to wait 7 weeks. But then one of the book clubs I am in, left unread, see here picked it for the book club month read and it was on sale!!!! So it’s happening.
During Read Thoughts: Content warnings and spoiler warnings begin here. This is a horror book set in Jim Crow Florida. There are certain words I have not read or heard in a bit that took me back. This is a novel that makes you look at racism directly. It’s uncomfortable. It’s also really well written. I need to take some time to process what I just read. Ok I am about 12%? in, and I can’t put it down.

Full Review:
This is going to take me some time to process as this book is very dark. It was angering, sadening, eye opening, and heartbreaking.
I need a few days to process before leaving a review, but here is a spoiler free one that has triggers in it from a book club buddy and friend: see here
