4.5
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.

This book. I honestly don't even know where to begin. Tiffany d. Jackson did a wonderful job of making you feel for Mary and all her struggles. I honestly believed Mary and everything she said. The problems and hardships she faces make you sympathize with her. I never saw the ending coming I had to re-read that part to make sure I had read it right cause I could not believe what I was seeing.
Even though this book can be hard to read I recommend you read it if this is something that interests you. I don't think I'll be forgetting about the book anytime soon.
