This book was heavy and it evoked an emotion out of me that I never felt before reading a book. I cried because I understood her grief and everything and it was extremely graphic. I felt heavy and sad after it. I don’t think I’ll ever pick this book back up too read but it really was good.

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.

Great book, I was definitely not expecting the ending but it was worth finding out. I'm not gonna lie but this book is pretty long though

HOLY COW!!!!

This book is about a young girl, Claudia, who is searching for her best friend, Monday, after not hearing from her in a long time. 

I did not expect to love this book as much as I do! Read this right now! 

It features an unreliable narrator with time jumps that might confuse you until the final chapter when it’s not confusing anymore! The plot twist was so not expected and made the way the book was formatted make so much sense.
