4.5
The depiction of close friendship between middle school girls was incredibly accurate, and so were the family dynamics, which varied drastically between Monday and Claudia. This is a very good mystery; I couldn't have predicted the ending, but I did question some of the writing choices a little bit (such as the way the chapters and chapter titles were presented and how the details were explained at the end).
MONDAY'S NOT COMING is a creative take on mystery and an ode to missing young Black girls that far too few people are looking for. I'd definitely recommend this book to mystery book lovers, but I'd definitely advise checking trigger warnings first!
