Editorial Reviews

Nicole Lewis performs this sophomore novel from Booker longlisted author Kiley Reid. Millie Cousins is a senior resident assistant at the University of Arkansas, and her goal is to graduate, buy a house, and begin living her life. When Agatha Paul, a visiting professor and journalist, offers Millie money in exchange for the opportunity to eavesdrop on the dorm's residents, Millie decides to take the risk and accept. Reid specializes in vivid dialogue, and Lewis's performance makes these sections of the audiobook sing. She creates unique voices for all of the major characters, complete with the perfect accents and delivery of expressions. As the drama around the college dorm twists and turns, Lewis's narration keeps listeners engaged. K.D.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine

"A deft exploration of how microaggressions can lead to macro consequences, Reid's second outing will appeal to readers who enjoy slow-burn, character-driven novels. . . . Reid has a ready and eager audience for her second novel, and the word is out." —Booklist

"Reid offers an illuminating study of power, responsibility, and the bad choices we sometimes make, written in the fresh, bright language for which she’s known. . . . What’s most remarkable here is the grace and understanding the author shows her characters. . . . An emotionally intense exploration of power dynamics within relationships that doesn’t settle for easy villains and victims." —Library Journal
