Monday's Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson
5.0
actual rating: 4.5
The first thing I have to make clear is that this isn't an easy read, but I do have to say it sort of worked out in the end. In this novel we read from Claudia's point of view who suspects something is wrong when her best friend, Monday, stops showing up for school. She tries everything she can in order to figure out the truth unaware of the trauma she is causing to herself.
I really enjoyed how it was able to keep me intrigued every time a new little detail on Monday's disappearance was revealed or when something mentioned earlier in the book made sense in another point. Although I do have to admit the timeline was VERY confusing at first and the chapter titles didn't help much (ex. "The Before," "Before The Before," "After"). After the first few chapters, I found it easier not to pay attention to the chapter titles and just read as if it was going at a normal timeline with occasional flashbacks.
In the end, I really did enjoy it and would recommend it to others.
