What I liked:
Sariyah, the main character, is the heart of this book. Her ability to intuitively know what others need is woven into the story in a way that feels believable and grounded, rather than over-the-top or distracting. The representation of disabilities and mental health is another strong point. Desamours includes conditions like Sickle Cell Anemia, depression, and ADHD. The book’s exploration of racial disparities—especially in how missing persons cases are handled depending on race—was impactful and discussed an important message to readers.
What is disliked:
The twist, while functional, didn’t leave much of an impression. It wasn’t bad, but it lacked the impact.
Thank you Macmillan Audio for ALC. These thoughts are my own.
