Highly recommended. This is a fast-paced, plot-driven novel that tackles topics of racism, elitism, and intersections of those and other concerns of college freshman. -SLJ, starred review A moving and authentic exploration of one young woman's moral compass. -Kirkus Reviews With a world of sass and more than a hint of Black girl magic, Lee gives readers a quintessential coming-of-age novel that leaves us pining for more of Sav annah's heroism. -Booklist Lee's thoughtful debut, a timely, quickly paced look at the trauma Black students often face in white institutions, brings a refreshingly vulnerable honesty to this narrative centering one Black collegiate transition. -Publishers Weekly A voice that will stick with you long after you read the last word. -Nic Stone, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin Scathing, honest, and impassioned. - Adib Khorram, Award-winning author of Darius the Great Is Not Okay Raw, authentic, honest. This thought-provoking debut is equal parts call-out and call to action. -J. Elle, New York Times bestselling author of Wings of Ebony
