When Emira is apprehended at a supermarket for ‘kidnapping’ the white child she’s actually babysitting, it sets off an explosive chain of events. Her employer Alix, a feminist blogger with the best of intentions, resolves to make things right.

But Emira herself is aimless, broke and wary of Alix’s desire to help. When a surprising connection emerges between the two women, it sends them on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know – about themselves, each other, and the messy dynamics of privilege.

Really enjoyed this book - the story unfolded at a great pace, with layers and reveals along the way that were unexpected and often amusing! The narrator was excellent and the ending was extremely satisfying without being overly neat or too convenient. There was a subtle educative element to this about life as a black woman in the US that I really appreciated. I learned a lot and realised my eyes were not as open as I had thought they might be. Highly recommend this book.

Excellent book!

It was a great story covering many topics. My only issue is that it rushed the ending. I need to know what happened after the big confrontation. It ended so abruptly

Great story line
