The plot line was also creative: only two black girls in the country club community: Farrah and Cherish, best friends for so long with different kind of inner dynamics.Įven though Cherish denies she’s acting like spoiled white kid, adopted by Brianna and Jenny Whitman who see her as their raison d’ etre! And poor Farrah is sent to live with them because of financial struggle of her family.
I have to warn you: this book starts tooooooo SLOW! If you are person like me saying “let’s cut to the chase” more than hundred times a day and brief conversations are the crucial thing in her life, you cannot stand the movies like Meet Joe Black which gives you more pain than root canal, this book won’t fit with your expectations at the beginning!īut my advice to you: please be patient! This is social thriller slowly makes you engage with the characters and the escalation of events, slow high tension building will definitely alert your full attention and the ending… well, it’s argumentatively jaw dropping, somewhat nonsense but it is still surprising! Whoa! This book is darker than my soul who creates so many plot lines for horror scripts! Even darker than Logan Roy’s heart from Succession! Told in Farrah’s chilling, unforgettable voice and weaving in searing commentary on race and class, this slow-burn social horror will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page. But soon everything begins to unravel when the Whitmans invite Farrah closer, and it’s anyone’s guess who is really in control. As strange things start happening at the Whitman household-debilitating illnesses, upsetting fever dreams, an inexplicable tension with Cherish’s hothead boyfriend, and a strange journal that seems to keep track of what is happening to Farrah-it’s nothing she can’t handle.
She might trust them-if they didn’t think something was wrong with Farrah, too. When her own family is unexpectedly confronted with foreclosure, the calculating Farrah is determined to reassert the control she’s convinced she’s always had over her life by staying with Cherish, the only person she loves-even when she hates her.Ī troubled Farrah manipulates her way further into the Whitman family but the longer she stays, the more her own parents suggest that something is wrong in the Whitman house. With Brianne and Jerry Whitman as parents, Cherish is given the kind of adoration and coddling that even upper-class Black parents can’t seem to afford-and it creates a dissonance in her best friend that Farrah can exploit. Her best friend, Cherish Whitman, adopted by a wealthy white family, is something Farrah likes to call WGS-White Girl Spoiled. Seventeen-year-old Farrah Turner is one of two Black girls in her country club community, and the only one with Black parents.
