Yooooooo, I loved this book waaay more than I thought I would. I saw some of the negative reviews so I was prepared for some of the "issues" but I personally dont agree with them and felt like this story was the best way to have some important conversations and I loved the way it was handled. I loved it.

Not just for Stephen King fans, this YA suspenseful psychological horror is in my top 5 reads of the year so far! The audiobook is amazing, with a wonderful cast that bring the story to life so well. At times uncomfortable, this is a book I will recommend to everyone, regardless of the genre you prefer to read!

Whew....ok...Definitely very much Carrie by Stephen King in the new Era and I loved it. The story of Carrie is pretty epic anyway but to add today's racial tensions included was pretty epic. Also the whole ending ....wow

Mannnnnnn…

Not often am I left speechles, but this book had me like 😒😕😳🤬🖕🏾, and not necessarily in that order.

Every.
Single.
Person.
Got EXACTLY what they deserved. Some didn’t get enough. They ran my girl Maddy, and she did what she had to do.

“Because if she had been who she was meant to be from the start… none of this would have happened.”
