Reader Reviews
There are natural comparisons to Cecily von Ziegesar's bestselling series, but the book stands on its own.
"It's like Haunting of Hill House's 'Two Storms' scored to a gothic version of T. Swift's Folklore album..."
"Afi is a worthy heroine, unwilling to yield to the patriarchal forces that threaten her spirit."
In fact, the plot is all too real for Black and brown communities.
