They say don't judge a book by its cover. Shame on me.

With a title like this I expected more. I was bored for a lot of it but didn't dnf because I was waiting on the hot monster. And I got a hot monster so I wasn't upset. I bought this from Target and I would've rather rented it from the library. But its mine now and I wrote all over it with a buncha hearts! I love when Black girls !!!!! And fuck it I’ll buy the sequel too!

The main issue is that she's a Black girl, an everyday person from America, trying to fit in in racist ass upper class France. Like I wanted to reach into the book and yell at her girl it's never gonna happen!!! Not that that's her fault but that's literally the only conflict. Notice how her life got better when she got a Black bestie? Yeah exactly.


Also the voice actress for the audio book Kristolyn Lloyd was so amazing I looked her up to see what else she's done. I'm so happy she's gonna read the sequel too! She gave so much life to the characters and the narration! Ugh! Finally some good fucking food! 5 stars for Kristolyn Lloyd!
