His best friend, Kasim has his eyes set on Fabiola.įabiola navigates her first days in America fairly well even though she has an accent and her use of American slang isn’t the best. There are three sisters, Chantal – the oldest and in college, Pri and Donna who are twins: Pri is the tough girl at school who has a crush on another girl and Donna is the beautiful one and in an abusive relationship with Dray – a drug dealer. I loved getting to know Fabiola’s cousins who are all very different from one another. But the main character Fabiola is starting off her journey from Haiti to Detroit without her mother – she got detained in New Jersey and all Fab wants to do is have her mother back with her. This time the story is gritty, set in Detroit, with a family who have seen tough times and has a reputation in the neighborhood for it.
This is the second book I’ve read from Ibi Zoboi and once again she drew me into a story with compelling characters. Content Warning: Violence, Physical Abuse, Death
