I really liked the premise of this book. A young black girl, Sky, struggles with her self identity. She has a friend who is, IMO, manipulative and doesn’t have Sky’s best interest in mind. Not to mention, she has a sister who is just as mean. Throughout the book we follow Sky develop as a person, recognize her true potential and worth and takes charge of her life.

The only issue that I have with this book is the structure and pacing. I love books written in verse so this is what attracted me to picking it up. The back and forth and skipping around to finish a scene really threw me off a few times. I also wish that a lot of the characters were more fleshed out., i.e. Kiyana and Inga and their relationship with Sky. I think the book could have handled a few more pages to achieve this. Some back story as to why her relationship with her sister was so tumultuous would have been great as well. I really would love to know how the book title ties in with the story.

Overall, the book had great potential but slightly missed the mark. Mildly enjoyable with the desire to know more but not memorable. Nonetheless, I would consider reading other works by the author.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for an e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
