Gut wrenching, searing, lightning fast book. The best friend dynamic is so beautiful and endearing and Gabriela is an incredible character. Enchanted is an affecting MC, too. In fact, all the characters add to and affect the plot. I didn't know where the story was going and was literally shook by the twists. My heart both raced and ached reading it. Tiffany D. Jackson has become one of my favorite authors. Grown is yet another impactful and confronting read that doesn't disappoint. Also, loved reading the acknowledgements page and discovering that Proverbs verse. I've been having some struggles lately and finding that was literally godsend. 


(p.s. Shout out to user @ravenlily for creating the 2022 Read Your Bookshelf Challenge March prompt bc otherwise I wouldn't have found this book and read it. Thank yoUu!)
