i don't really know what to say. i have never read a book remotely like this, where the mc is in kids jail, where the mc is a pregnant teen or with such a crazy traumatic past. it was a bit of a hard read and I would definitely not be able to read it if I was her age let alone live through what she did, but now I feel like I'm more mature. i can read darker shit now and I love that. the book was interesting I gotta give it that, but I pretty much knew all the plot twists and stuff the only thing I didn't expect was the ending. not that it is that surprising it just breaks the point of the book for me. i lied how this book showed how awful the prison system is especially the juvenile one and how often black people especially teens get wrongly accused so the ending kinda ruined it for me. also I didn't agree with the decision to keep the baby, it makes no sense you're a kid, you definitely can't take care of a kid... tf?! anyways the book was a fun dark time. i learned more about how f-ed up the world is for some people. i did want Mary to get adopted by mc. Cora though...
