My second book from Jackson and was really enjoyable and easy to read. I don’t always like young adult lit. but ever since I read Monday’s Not Coming, I’ve chosen the occasional YA novel lol. Something that’s been prevalent in both books I’ve read are the twist endings, and while it wasn’t as mind-bending as the one in MNC, it totally flipped the story on me. I also really liked the complexity of the characters (especially the other girls in the home) and how other issues could be tied into the main plot. Overall a great and quick read!! Looking forward to reading The Weight of Blood!!

This book was so heavy, it's funny that Push was referenced though Mary couldn't see why.

This is probably my favorite Tiffany D. Jackson so far and it makes me really excited for The Weight of Blood! Mary is such an interesting character to follow and her experiences with her abusive mother, the criminal justice system and foster care are important and poignantly written. I wasn't crazy about the final twist but it was decent and I didn't see it coming. The mystery was really gripping throughout, I was so interested to find out what happened. Mary's voice is just super distinct and well developed and therefore I felt really connected to her character. My ranking of Tiffany D. Jackson books as of now: Allegedly, White Smoke, Monday's Not Coming, Grown.

This is the perfect kind of book to listen to! So intense and keeps you guessing right until the end. And performed by the wonderful Bahni Turpin
