This was a very ambitious novel. It’s described as Stepford Wives meets Get Out. Those elements are there so, while unsettled, I was immensely curious about how this would go and what the resolution would be. But ultimately, it fell short for me. 

There is not a social justice or systemic racism topic unexplored. But it was almost too much to cram into a 250 page book and it may have been at the expense of not fleshing out the MC and her story beyond her dedication to activism. And there’s no satisfying explanation for how an educated, wealthy Black couple so invested in these issues and giving back to their community end up in this story.
