Blurb:

A young Black babysitter, her white employer, and a complex web of race, privilege, and good intentions.

INITIAL REACTION :

Reid's debut grabs you from the opening scene - a deeply uncomfortable incident at a grocery store that sets the tone for everything that follows.

FINAL REVIEW

Sharp, witty, and uncomfortably real. Reid captures the nuances of modern racial dynamics with precision and humor.
