Well, that was not at all what I expected! This is not my favorite book by Jackson, mostly because of the back and forth time structure that was somewhat difficult to follow. I think the plot was shocking, revolting, and honest and the characters were gritty and real. This story would be a good read for hesitant teen readers because of its’ short chapters and engaging content.

I couldn’t stop reading. Tiffany D Jackson is so fantastic. The parallels of horror to child abuse and missing children is really impactful. I hope young adults see what she’s saying and this book changes them how it changed me. Fantastic book that everyone should read if they’re in the mood for a tough ya mystery/horror.

I don't have the words to explain how incredible this book was and how it impacted me. All I will say is that it was a harrowing and masterfully written story that gripped me from beginning to end.
