Now that I think I'm finally over the initial state of shock I was in when I finished this book, I can recommend it. I finished reading this Friday at 3:28am with a mixture of insomnia and "I can't put this down" driving me. Then, at 3:28am, the only thing I could do was lie in my bed awake thinking WTF JUST HAPPENED?
This book revolves around a little Black girl (9yo) who killed a little white baby girl (3mo), allegedly. There are a few tough & some uncomfortable topics that the book touches on (mental illness, racism, failed justice system, child abuse...). However, it's also told from a 16 year old's perspective so it's not that deep (kind of). Idk but that is all I will say as I recommend going into this book blind. You'll either love or hate the end, which is normal for me. But I loved it, which is not normal for me LOL.
It's also written by a Black author so #BlackGirlMagic
