The sinking feeling this book leaves you with is unmatched. Monday’s not coming isn’t hard to read because it’s unrealistic; it’s hard to read because it’s too real. It shines a brutal light on how easily Black girls, especially young Black girls, can disappear without anyone noticing or caring. What makes it hit even harder is that we’re seeing it all through the eyes of Claudia, a child who hasn’t fully processed the weight of her grief or the reality of what happened to her best friend. Tiffany D. Jackson absolutely nailed the emotional perspective of a grieving child. Claudia’s confusion, desperation, and hope are devastatingly believable.

Of course, she can’t wrap her head around the fact that her best friend was murdered and hidden in a freezer by her own mother. No child could.

This book doesn’t need a life-changing plot twist to be powerful, the horror is the truth it tells. It destroyed me. And that’s why I recommend it to everyone.

I read this book in a day! It was an enjoyable read, the plot unfolded slowly and the reader is understanding the story based on how the narrator accounts it. This books talks about larger themes at play like justice and community. I plan to eventually pick this book up again in the future to give it a second read.

What a heartbreaking story of child abuse, and best friends! It took me a minute to really get into the book but then I couldn’t put it down. Great book!
