One of Our Kind by Nicola Yoon

🔥 A bold, provocative thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nicola Yoon, set in an all-Black gated community where utopia hides a chilling secret.

“Brilliant… Your book club will be discussing this one for DAYS.” — Jodi Picoult

When Jasmyn and King Williams move their family to Liberty, California—a meticulously planned all-Black utopian community—they believe they’ve found paradise: a safe haven promising belonging, safety, and success. 🏡✨ King quickly embraces the lifestyle, diving into Liberty’s polished wellness culture and elite social scene. But Jasmyn can't shake the feeling that something is off.

Expecting a hub of activism and progress, Jasmyn instead finds a place obsessed with image, indulgence, and willful ignorance. And when she uncovers a disturbing secret buried deep in Liberty’s origins, the community’s glossy facade begins to crack. As her friends grow wary and her family slips further into Liberty’s alluring grip, Jasmyn must decide: how far will she go to expose the truth? 🔍⚖️

⭐ Perfect for fans of Celeste Ng, Jordan Peele, and Tananarive Due, One of Our Kind blends razor-sharp suspense with insightful social commentary on race, privilege, identity, and the illusion of safety.

A gripping novel about the cost of freedom—and what we risk when we stop asking hard questions.
