First, welcome to the forum. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do!

Second, I've never even heard of this trilogy. Can you please write a brief synopsis? That helps some of get interested with unfamiliar work and will promote a better chance of having someone to discuss it with.

Cheers!

it is about a world where the black people(the Crosses) rule and the white people(the Noughts) are treated like 2nd class citizens. A cross called sephy falls in love with a nought called Callum.

So I am currently reading the Noughts & Crosses Trilogy which is about segregation between black and white people. Where the white people are the ones who were slaves in the past and they are unable to get good jobs etc. However the main characters Callum and Sephy are best friends and don't let this get in the way of their friendship.

Who has read the trilogy?

I haven't read them, but it sounds like an interesting alternate reality premise.
