I thought this book was going to be a thriller and keep me engaged. However, all I got was a huge disappointment. I couldn’t even finish because it was all over the place. The author was trying to execute but fell short.

This book really speaks to the intricacies of black people in workspaces. Though I was disappointed that Nella folded into the temptation of the hair grease, I wonder if she is actually infiltrating rather than just being one of them. Great read, well written. I hope she writes a sequel!

I just felt the story went left. And I couldn't stick with it. A lot of layers and unanswered questions.

Attention grabbing story. Shocking ending. Some reverse racism but I understand some people enjoy these themes.
