Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
Genre: YA, thriller
Content warnings: Outing of a queer character, revenge porn, cyberbullying, homophobia, racism
It's rare that I look at comp titles for a book and think, "Yes, these comp titles describe the book perfectly." But Ace of Spades is 100% Gossip Girl meets Get Out, and it is glorious.
Honestly, it's hard to talk about my favorite part of this book because it's a spoiler, so I'll just say that this book is so needed and powerful. I also 200% support portrayals of queer characters of color by actual authors of color, so you know, this was a win!
My one nitpick is something that I'll put under a cut for spoilers.
