Monday’s Not Coming ⛔️ Review
“So remember, Sweet Pea, just 'cause someone got a roof, don't make it a home" - Tiffany D Jackson 🏡
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.5 Stars

I don’t think there are any words that will do this book justice. It’s a heartbreaking look at children lost in the system and the trauma that comes with losing someone close to you. It’s beautifully written and so important but not a book for everyone. 💔
The friendship between Claudia and Monday is so well captured, I felt myself feeling cold without Monday. I loved the culture, it made the book come alive outside of Claudia’s head. The way school, friendships, love and parenting were tackled in this book was no easy feat but Jackson made it seem effortless. 💕
Personally, I’m glad I listened to the audiobook as the chapters do hop to different points on the timeline. The ending was different to what I expected, but I think it was an important addition and again the audiobook really helped drill this home. Highly recommend 📖
