Heavyyyy! This book brought so many emotions out of me. Frustration and sadness are two of the main ones. Tiffany you did your thang with this. Praying for all the children of color that feel like no one notices they’re missing.

Tiffany D Jackson knows how to write a plot twist.

This story ripped me to my core. A story about abuse, trauma, and friendship. Monday and Claudia are soul sisters for life.

What would you do if you hadn't heard from your best friend all summer, her phone is disconnected, and no one seems to know where she is? This is the situation that Claudia finds herself in with her best friend, Monday. Claudia can't seem to figure out why no one is concerned about Monday not being in school or Monday's mom not being cooperative. This book is broken up into months and skips between the before and after, which makes it a little hard to follow at times. It also covers some heavy topics like child abuse, which may be triggering to some. Overall, it was a good book but may be better suited for more mature readers.

dark emotional

This was a really good book. It’s about a young girl named Claudia, who is determined to find out what happened to her best friend, Monday. This is a dark story, it’s very character driven, which really worked well and kept me invested in the outcome. Claudia is so well written and it felt like I was looking for Monday right alongside her. I would recommend this book, but I just wish the chapters had been laid out more clearly - they jumped back and forth in time in a way that was a bit disorienting.
