Oh wow, this is a really good read. It’s fast paced, and the characters are absolutely delectable to get to know. The plot is engrossing.

Wow. Just wow. Thank you so much Netgalley. This book was fantastic and I can’t wait to buy it for my shelf.

Where the sleeping girls lie is a thrilling read, about a black girl in boarding school. Faridah Àbike-Íyimide doesn’t disappoint us with this YA novel. 4 out of 5.

I loved her debut and I have about 3 copies of it (all different covers) and I was waiting on pins and needles for her sophmore book and I can say she didn't dissapoint. She is a new auto buy author for me and I can't wait to collect copies of this book as well because it was all around amazing! We need more authors like her.

This was a fascinating, delicious dark academia thriller, with nested secrets-within-secrets and heightened stakes. As usual, Àbiké-Iyimidé's treatment of race and racism in traditionally white (and overtly white supremacist) settings AND genres is so incisive and great, as is her commentary on misogyny, misogynoir, and traumas of all sorts. It's deep AND it's got that glossy, lush-boarding-school-for-the-hyper-privileged sheen, no mean feat to accomplish at the same time.
