This book, along with a few other books by Tiffany Jackson, have been on my TBR for a while and I'm so glad I finally got to it. What a masterful re-telling of Stephen King's Carrie! Tiffany Jackson did an amazing job of creating such nuanced characters, whether you were rooting for or against them, you still felt something for them. 10/10 highly recommend, and I'm definitely gonna get into more of her books!


My only grievance is that the only thing Jules lost was her arm. Girly should've lost her life, I'm just saying! I also would've loved a final chapter or epilogue that showed the reader where Maddy was now. But, I could also see how the fact that we don't really drives home the message of her story.
