Loved this book right until the little bit, and then hated it! The „twist“ was so infuriating! Good righting and good plot, got me hooked right From the start, but the twist just felt cheap and not well thought out.

Imagine writing something like this as your DEBUT NOVEL???

Tiffany D. Jackson has made a fan of me for life. This was so insanely tense/disturbing/sickening/thought-provoking. The fact that she was able to write a compelling mystery with a jaw-dropping twist while also touching upon the juvenile justice system and racism within the justice system as a whole, mental illness, the shortcomings of the foster care system, sexual/mental/phsyical abuse, + disected the way society holds black children more culpable than white children is nothing short of genius. This story kept me on edge the whole time and the unreliable narration made everything feel so tense. And the ending… I am speechless. I can’t wait to delve into more of Jackson’s work!

dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

4.5

Tiffany Jackson is now an auto buy author for me. 4.5 stars. 

This book was incredible. I read it in 2 hour increments each day. I couldn’t put it down. 

Mary allegedly murdered a 3-month old baby named Alyssa Richardson when she was 9. She ends up going to “baby jail” and then a group home with other girls like her. 

That’s all I have to say. Read this book.
