3.0

I’m give this a solid, it’s okay rating. Good enough to keep me interested, not good enough where I’m going to remember it and think about it in the future. I was expecting a lot better from the tagline, “Mary B. Addison killed a baby. Allegedly.” The ending was decent but not absolutely mind blowing good, it was just okay for me.

This was a great read. I didn’t know it was a story written from the point of view of an unreliable narrator until later in the book. When I finally realized, the entire book seemed to shift into something else entirely. It also made me realize how easy it is for manipulation to occur without even realizing it. This story uncovers horrors of the justice system and uncomfortable truths as well. I encourage everyone to read but caution because there is mention of child death.

This book was upsetting, especially the ending. It was also psychologically believable.

3.5. I was not expecting that ending. Just like all the other reviews I should have braced myself but this was my second Tiffany Jackson book so I was still trying to figure her out. I was intrigued for most of the book but I think I got a little lost on the plot sometimes. I just feel kind of empty now and I need a follow up on what happened next.

Mary is a strong, well written character. Great story telling. You will root for her & cry for her. The system failed her but she wants better for herself & her future baby.

she actually did kill Alyssa! But when you find out why she did, a part of you will still feel for her. But talk about a surprise ending! The abuse she faced & resulting trauma makes you cry for her, but also hope that she will still be a good mom to her own "bean".
