This is an interesting and compelling story, and it definitely kept me intrigued, but unfortunately it's also pretty all over the place and ends up just feeling really messy; I was almost left with more questions than answers. It does tackle some important themes, but again in quite a haphazard way, and while of course it was always going to be very dark, at times it felt like a bit too much and as if it was verging into 'trauma for the sake of trauma' territory. Overall, then, this wasn't terrible - just pretty middle-of-the road for me.

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".

Disappointing, but on par for this author. The amount of unnecessary trauma/drama thrown into this story left a bad taste in my mouth towards all Tiffany D. Jackson books. 

How much can I witness one character be dragged through before I can no longer suspend disbelief? 

Seems like she just enjoys torturing her characters. 

The amount of colorism, racism, fat shaming, ableism, false 'mental health' representation, abuse, mentions of rape and molestation, inappropriate sexual relationships, stereotypes, and just downright torture for shock value that took place in this book - disgusting.
