Monday is missing and Claudia, her best friend, is the only one who is missing her. Claudia keeps looking for Monday. She tries to get every adult she knows to find out where her friend is. 

I could not put this book down. I loved Claudia and the other characters. I missed Monday with her, and The ending....

Content warning: There is a ton of lesbophobia in here as the other kids at Claudia's school bully her and Monday. It was really hard to read
.

I will hear no critique of it. For me, out was another amazing book from Tiffany D Jackson

Wow was that depressing. I cried which I wasn’t really expecting, but I really got to know the characters and felt for them. I do have to say I thought it was weird how it was written and how Claudia was written, but it makes sense when a certain reveal happens. This is such an important story, but very dark. I also really like Claudia as a main character and how strong she was. I really enjoyed the friendships and the family and how great of support system Claudia had. I do have to say it was also kind of confusing how it was written because I kept forgetting what timeline we were in.

A beautiful, emotional read. The writing is so captivating and authentic to a 13 year old’s voice. Highly recommend checking the trigger warnings in advance before deciding to read.

This was dark and harrowing and, at times, absolutely heart-breaking, but such a powerful book and one I raced through because I had to know how it was going to end.
