Great YA!!! On the mature side (the content and trigger warnings say enough) I knocked it down a half a point due to one of the aspects of the abuse was handled. (Light spoiler: after the abuse she starts seeing and hearing stuff, a real symptom of PTSD&CPTSD, and it is wasn’t really concluded… it kinda just happened and then it’s never spoken about with in the book again) all in all I would have just liked the psychology of the survivor to be addressed more OR some commentary on how mental health is handle in the black community!! However, GREAT representation, writing, and commentary on the exploration of women of color in the entertainment industry!!!
