I couldn‘t put this down. KR has such an amazing way of writing compelling, timely stories about young women - she‘s a must read author for me and I wish I‘d bought this

This was my #BookSpin and I‘m giving it a soft pick. At first I didn‘t like it at all because it took forever to introduce all the characters and I couldn‘t figure out what she was doing with them. The climax of the story is absolutely crazy and I did not expect it at all. I think she‘s trying to make a point about money, power dynamics, and bad choices but it got very messy. I‘m still thinking about it, so that seems worth something.
My #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin for May! Getting started ASAP.
Thanks to @TheAromaofBooks again for always organizing this for us!
Welp! Another disappointing sophomore effort. There were elements I really enjoyed, but this felt like it could have used more cooking before serving. I will still eagerly read whatever she writes next.
I ❤️ weekends.
This was a so so character driven story about a college dorm and the RAs and students who live there and a visiting writing professor it was a slog until about 2/3. Honestly none of the characters were likable

Kiley Reid is an excellent author. I enjoyed the character development and the unpredictable plot. The theme of racism was woven throughout in a subtle way. I was finding ways to sneak in reading it as I was so drawn in. Highly recommend along with her first novel, Such a Fun Age.
