I love the characterisation in this series. Kemi, Brittany-Rae and Yasmiin felt so real and distinct. I cared about them and got frustrated by their life choices (especially Kemi! She had an excuse for everything!) I appreciated how the author reminded us of what happened in In Every Mirror She's Black without going too far into it. I do find the writing style a little clichéd, a feel like a thesaurus may have been useful at times.
