Fantastic. It starts sarcastic and lighthearted but then pulls you into a huge conspiracy analysing the very depths of racial discrimination through thriller fiction. The characters, the expression through form, the slangish writing, it’s all chaotic but deeply thought through and brilliant. Lots of gore tho, you’ll have to have a strong stomach.
Graphic: Gun violence, Hate crime, Panic attacks/disorders, Racism, Slavery, Toxic relationship, Violence, Xenophobia, Police brutality, Kidnapping, Death of parent, Murder, and Gaslighting
