dark emotional mysterious tense

ok i cannot rate this bc i read the book timeline wrong GJFDHJGSKGFHKSDJFHJKS thats a me issue but its pretty well written. the story keeps you wanting to continue it and everything is foreshadowed really well. please check trigger warnings if you feel you need it this is not a light story. super super emotional i think the author's really good at writing i just feel like i didn't gel with the plot as much bc of the darkness of it which is a me problem not a book problem.

ok spoiler i am not a massive fan of the mental break plot twist it just feels kind of. overdone?? to me but it was forshadowed well so i'm not nearly as annoyed as i mightve been and also i feel sick after reading that. also feel so angry at so many of the adults and im assuming thats intentional because this is very much a story about adults who leave kids to do the heavy lifting and i am so angry hJKFDSYAJHKFGDSHJA

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.

This book had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t sleep after reading it. Definitely not for the light of heart and you should check the trigger warnings. I loved it so much, but I don’t know if I’ll be rereading it soon because it was not a light read in terms of content.

A story that needs to be told & heard, unfortunately. Too often children in the black community are abused and go missing and no one cares. Because if it doesn’t affect you, your kids, kids that look like you or your community you just don’t care. Everybody failed Monday, Tuesday, April & August. Even the Charles family. I do not doubt that the Charles’ loved Monday and her siblings but they were very standoffish in how they handled things. Then the guilt tore them up. Everybody tried to make Claudia seem crazy or want her to forget Monday and just move on but that was her friend. Her only friend. And when that’s all you feel like you have would you want to lose it, let it go or act like the person and your relationship didn’t exist. Often times we hear adults say kids are resilient and they get over things easier than adults but that’s a lie. A misconception. Because how do you get over a lost love, a loss of friendship & companionship? You don’t get over that easily. And everybody that told Claudia she should was wrong. I loved Michael. I loved Claudia’s dedication to her friend. I understand April saw & went through a lot but I didn’t care for her and how she treated Claudia. Didn’t like Patty at all! And don’t get me started on the kids at school. Jacob, Trevor, Carl, Shayla & Ashley could all get the paws put on them. They were faker than a $3 bill. Kids are cruel!
