Twisted up, but too conveniently packaged at the end.

Wow what a rollercoaster! I love how complex all of the characters are, it really breaks you out of the mold thinking that a character is 100% guilty or innocent. I feel like it's really hard to get into the mindset (especially first person) of someone who has been so traumatized and abused, but she did an excellent job. You can really tell when there are holes in Mary's memory, and things that she doesn't fully understand/refuses to accept. I feel like it ended kind of abruptly, I would have liked more of a build-up before the crazy ending, but still a really good read.

dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

4.5

Tiffany Jackson is now an auto buy author for me. 4.5 stars. 

This book was incredible. I read it in 2 hour increments each day. I couldn’t put it down. 

Mary allegedly murdered a 3-month old baby named Alyssa Richardson when she was 9. She ends up going to “baby jail” and then a group home with other girls like her. 

That’s all I have to say. Read this book.

this is my second work and audiobook from jackson and i am still thoroughly impressed. jackson does not hold back in her stories and at times can be difficult to read. it is hard to say that i "enjoyed" this, but jackson clearly has a gift for storytelling. this is an unflinching and disturbing look at motherhood, the US justice system's treatment of black children/teens, and mental health. i was engrossed from beginning to end with only minor qualms. although i felt that the ending was a smidge rushed, i felt that the ending was incredibly well done and a testament to jackson's skill at writing.
