Another mind blowing narrative by this incredible author. I have also read Mondays not Coming by this author and it blew my mind. This is exactly the same in that gut punching impact and dark & gripping plots that are INCREDIBLY emotive. I am always brought to tears by her beautiful writing and key messages that are difficult to hear but needed. Her narratives are current and speak to so many, opening our eyes to what is happening in the world. Her lead characters just take over your heart and soul 🖤 I cannot wait to continue my Tiffany D Jackson journey! I have read both of these via audio and i would probably stick to audio - the narration works so well

Perfection! Read this so quickly because everything about this book was perfect. Unique premise, mystery, good handling of tough topics, amazing writing. I will read more of Tiffany D Jackson
