![]() ![]() When she strikes a deal with a police detective to set up Dray for arrest in exchange for her mother’s release, it results in a dangerous situation with devastating results. ![]() Shocked by the rough urban environment, her pugnacious cousins, her aunt’s lethargy, and her cousin Donna’s physically abusive, drug-dealing boyfriend, Dray, Fabiola turns to her Haitian spirits ( lwas)-as well as a mysterious street man-for guidance, while embarking on a tentative romance with Dray’s friend Kasim. Upon arriving in New York City, Fabiola’s mother, lacking proper documents, is sent to a detention center while Fabiola must go on alone to Detroit. Although born in America, teenage Fabiola has grown up with her mother in Port au Prince, dreaming of a better life with her aunt and cousins in Detroit. Zoboi’s powerful debut, set in current-day Detroit (but based on the author’s experience as a Haitian immigrant in 1980s Bushwick, Brooklyn), unflinchingly tackles contemporary issues of immigration, assimilation, violence, and drug dealing. ![]()

And honestly, even the 3 teens in the cast of 9 MCs and the occasional YA-ish plot clarifications can’t stop me from saying this should just be Adult. I’ve always found Aveyard’s tendency toward detailed exploration of intricate politics, plot movements, and character motivations to be misplaced in YA, weighing down what her audience would expect to be a more breezy, fun read. ![]() “Is it monstrous to want what is owed you?”īefore I say anything about what this book is or how I wanted to pull its fabric apart and drown in its strings of layered characters and delicious world, I just have to say: Why is this series Young Adult? ![]() ![]()
