what. the. heck. i'm absolutely floored. like what!!

Books CW: Murder, Mentions of attempted rape, Gang rape, Abuse, Ablest, Racist, Fatphobic and Homophobic comments.

I was initially very intrigued by this book because it's the only book by Tiffany D. Jackson that I haven't read yet (she's rapidly becoming a favorite). I really enjoyed my time reading it. There were a few things that I didn't like. Like the ableist, fatphobic, and homophobic comments some characters made. Also the mc was (apparently) diagnosed with ADHD but that couldn't be because she was “too smart”(??). I have ADHD and that lowkey hurt a bit i'm not going to lie. The ending left me for a loop it was a what's the truth? my whole life is a lie, type of situation. And I was kinda here for it. I loved that the author left us with more questions than answers. And how the end was left to the readers interpretation.

All in all this was a good debut and I know that TDJ's books just keep getting better. Which has me even more excited for what she has in store in the future.
