My second book from Jackson and was really enjoyable and easy to read. I don’t always like young adult lit. but ever since I read Monday’s Not Coming, I’ve chosen the occasional YA novel lol. Something that’s been prevalent in both books I’ve read are the twist endings, and while it wasn’t as mind-bending as the one in MNC, it totally flipped the story on me. I also really liked the complexity of the characters (especially the other girls in the home) and how other issues could be tied into the main plot. Overall a great and quick read!! Looking forward to reading The Weight of Blood!!
