4.5
The only reason I bumped the score down to 4.5 instead of the full five stars is just because I’m still unsure on a few things in regards to the plot and how each chapter was set up. I spent a lot of my time wondering about when this book was happening (and IYKYK). But the rest of the story and the characters were so compelling and so well written that I think this is my new favorite TDJ book.
I highly recommend reading this but definitely check trigger warnings.

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.

It was kinda confusing how it went from before to 2 years before and after idk I didn’t really get it but the story it self was good but I would like a clarification with Monday because it said that she had sex with this dude and then April said that she had sex with another dude so was she a slut?? And then April also said to Claudia how she doesn’t know nothing about Monday and how her favorite color was purple instead of pink so was that true and did Claudia actually not know her bff and was Monday always faking to be someone she wasn’t? I got shocked at the end and how Claudia was the crazy one and got traumatized by it and I also wonder if the police ever found out about April and what she did (putting Monday on the freezer) and if she went to jail. It was devastating hearing about the mother and how she didn’t care about her children and how she putted her own child in the freezer. I like this story but I still felt like something was missing it wasn’t the best book I have ever read but it really wasn’t bad since it wasn’t boring plus I liked how the chapters were short.
