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.

This was haunting that kept me addicted--I listened to the entire 10-hour audio book in one day. What an incredibly crafted story about something all too real.

 TW: domestic abuse, bullying, mental health, homophobia, neglect through the justice system, death

I don't usually cry from books, but this made me want to cry so badly. Monday's Not Coming is a heartwrenching, gripping, fast, and emotional tale about two friends and the justice system's failure. This is such a powerful book that everyone should read.
