Was not a fan.
I wanted this to be much more sinister than it was. This is a sci-fi book, masquerading as a thriller. The idea of #BlackGirlMagic is cool, but this story just takes it a step too far.
Nella is naive and wants to be ‘liked’ or ‘accepted’ by her co-workers to the point of, being a little dramatic and overzealous in the workplace. When the “new” black girl arrives at Wagner, she thinks she has an ally in her corner but quickly realizes that she does not. All of that and this trope of “tokenism” is so overdone in this book – we get it!
Where is the drama? Where is the mystery? Magical hair grease is where we are in the literary world?
One-Word Summary: Outlandish
