A review by janagaton
Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson

4.0

I listened to this one on audio, and I really wish I read it physically because it's a lot harder for me to internalize and retain audiobooks. This book discusses several very important topics and has numerous trigger warnings, such as sexual harassment, verbal abuse, statutory rape, etc. I totally didn't realize I was missing the climax until I was listening to the aftermath of it all, which most definitely wouldn't have happened if I were reading it physically. That's obviously my fault and probably the only reason why it wasn't a full 5-star experience for me. Tiffany D. Jackson always does a great job weaving tragic realities of this ugly world into the lives of fictional characters, and Grown was no exception.
