Absolutely loved this one! Tananarive amazingly crafted this story and I felt myself get completely sucked in. I like that this burned sort of slowly but not too slow that you lose interest. Her detailed scenes warranted the extra add-ins & it helped me connect better with the story overall. I truly just fell in love with her writing and I would absolutely read something from Tananarive again. Though it’s fiction, her use of near-true events, characters and settings was even a bit informational and made me interested to learn more about reform schools.
