Monday is missing and Claudia, her best friend, is the only one who is missing her. Claudia keeps looking for Monday. She tries to get every adult she knows to find out where her friend is. 

I could not put this book down. I loved Claudia and the other characters. I missed Monday with her, and The ending....

Content warning: There is a ton of lesbophobia in here as the other kids at Claudia's school bully her and Monday. It was really hard to read
.

I will hear no critique of it. For me, out was another amazing book from Tiffany D Jackson

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.
