The book is about a Black woman called Jasmyn and her family. She is married to King and they have a son and another one on the way. They've made quite a lot of money and have been living in Los Angeles, but then King wants the family to move to Liberty. That's a town in California where only Black people live. It's a gated community type of place and pretty exclusive. Jasmyn isn't sold on it, but King is pretty insistent on the move.
Once they get there, Jasmyn struggles to fit in. She quickly manages to annoy some of her neighbours, who are like the elders of the community and who ostracise her. King, though, fits in immediately, and begins spending too much time at the wellness centre which is a focal point of the town. He encourages Jasmyn to join too, but she's busy with work and her child. She also hoped that she would find like minded people in Liberty - people who are interested in social justice and rights for Black people and all of that stuff. But she can't find anyone else who thinks like she does, and she's disappointed.
She goes to the wellness centre for a pregnancy massage and she hears screaming and tries to run towards it, but she's stopped by the overly polite and extremely firm staff. She does meet two friends who are politically minded like she is, but they end up changing too and Jasmyn is trying to find out what on earth is going on in Liberty.
I loved the book. It did slow a bit in parts but it kept me reading. I liked Jasmyn and desperately wanted her to succeed. There were a bunch of twists and turns and the twist at the end really shocked me. I loved the set up and all the supporting characters. I'm giving this five out of five.
