This book had such an interesting premise and tackled some really important topics, especially gentrification and the changes happening within communities.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t the right thriller for me. I had a hard time getting invested in the story, and I guessed one of the major twists pretty early on, which took away a lot of the suspense. The pacing also felt quite slow, and I found myself waiting for the story to really take off.
That being said, I can definitely appreciate what the author was trying to do and the conversations this book encourages.
themes / tropes:
