Books Like 'Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets' for React

'Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets' was probably the best programming book I've ever read because it goes really in depth on edge cases and unintuitive behaviour (as well as coupling them with anecdotes), are there any such books for React?

I'm not sure the same type of book is possible for React.In C, edge cases are part of the formal specification. Beyond the edge cases is the formal concept of undefined behavior. In C, undefined behavior depends on implementation. React on the other hand does not have a formal specification. All of the edge cases arise from implementation. Also C is about forty years old. There's a long history of books about C -- it started with a book. React is much newer and changes rapidly.
