Holy shit this book is so good. Urgently and timeless, terrifying and full of hope. A really astonishing book.

This book is as lovable as it is important. It's a vital look at Black Lives Matter and race in America. It's also a totally engrossing, funny, wonderful story. I loved Starr, her friends, and family, and I loved reading this book.

This book is amazing. It swings from light and lovely to intense and gripping, but the whole time it's full of heart. I kept almost missing my subway stop while I was reading.

This book stars two women so complicated and fascinating that I never thought for a second about whether they're likeable, in a story so complex, believable, and thought-provoking that I never thought for a second about categories like “thriller” or “noir.” Instead, I was totally absorbed into this world, a world of women as daughters, mothers, wives, friends, and all the messy, real things between and beyond those labels.

THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD.

THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD. GAAAAH.

THIS BOOK IS SO SO GOOD.

Basically the Great American Novel.

Good god this book is good. Mary Roach's best yet.

I've never read a book like this. Journalism, cultural criticism, political critique, narrative - and all in a strange, gorgeous voice like nothing I've ever read. A bit of sci-fi false distance from the very recent past, a bit of the sociological remove of George Trow's Within the Context of No Context. I loved this book very, very much.

This book is amazing. It's a beautiful coming-of-age and coming-into-yourself story, intertwined with a fascinating story about tango—how it came to be danced all over the world and what it means to be people who dance it. Beautifully written and beautifully felt.

It's my book, and you know what, I'm a big fan.

This is hands-down the best audio book I've ever listened to, and one of the absolute best memoirs, and best books about science, I've ever read.
