A review by beauty_andbooks
When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole

4.0

What I liked:
✔️The historical background of many of the long term problems surrounding the Black community in America throughout time. I definitely want to look into further nonfiction reading that the author recommended at the end of the book
✔️The Get Out vibes that many people describe about this book. The overall feeling of suspense and eeriness made this a really good read
✔️The characters had all very distinct personalities that I enjoyed reading. Even if some were terrible people

What I didn’t like: 
✖️I thankfully had some prior knowledge of some of the historical aspects mentioned in the book such as the Tuskegee experiment. But had I not, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to appreciate the reason the author brought up the facts. A little bit of background info on these historical events without needing to google would have been helpful
✖️The ending was a bit rushed and left it feeling slightly unfinished
