Update! Here's my full review: https://bookishrealmreviews.blogspot.com/2019/10/slay-by-brittney-morris.html

4.5 Stars. It took me forever to read this book because I was giving birth to my daughter while in the process of trying to complete it haha. Let me start by saying that this book isn’t for everyone. A lot of people will pick up this book and feel disconnected because they don’t understand the cultural and social importance of this book for black readers. I’ve seen this book get low ratings under the guise of “I don’t understand how her parents didn’t know that she created this entire game” completely missing the point of the entire novel. I have never in my life read a book where I literally relate to EVERYTHING the characters are going through. This book feels like it was written for me and I haven’t had that feeling in a long time. There were a few areas that I had issue with which is why I couldn’t give it a full 5 stars but I’ll explore that in my full written review of this book. If you haven’t read it please check it out!
