This is probably my favorite Tiffany D. Jackson so far and it makes me really excited for The Weight of Blood! Mary is such an interesting character to follow and her experiences with her abusive mother, the criminal justice system and foster care are important and poignantly written. I wasn't crazy about the final twist but it was decent and I didn't see it coming. The mystery was really gripping throughout, I was so interested to find out what happened. Mary's voice is just super distinct and well developed and therefore I felt really connected to her character. My ranking of Tiffany D. Jackson books as of now: Allegedly, White Smoke, Monday's Not Coming, Grown.
