A review by lcl_reads
Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson

dark emotional mysterious sad fast-paced

5.0

In true Tiffany D. Jackson, Grown is fast-paced and hard to put down because I just had to find out what happens next. I was rooting for Enchanting, but also scared for her because her story is all too familiar. I love how Jackson gave tantalizing snippets of the ending, but still had a twist. This is tied with Monday's Not Coming as my favorite book I've read by Jackson so far. (I've read Allegedly, Monday, Weight of Blood, and now Grown).

I really like thrillers, but I've been struggling with some lately because they just feel outlandish, which isn't really thrilling to me. Jackson does such an amazing job creating a story that truly sends shivers down my spine because while I know it is fiction, I know it is also so real in a way that is gut-wrenching.

This book reminded me of Nightcrawling by Leila Motley. Interestingly, I listened to both and they happen to have the same narrator.
