Grown

i know i previously lauded tiffany d. jackson as a pyschological thriller master, but i made a mistake in not crediting her commentary on social issues enough. i don't want to backtrack too much, but the social commentary that monday's not coming and allegedly made were just as impactful, if not more so than their plot twists.

i urge you to read this book not for the thrill of finding out whodunnit but for the commentary on the abuse of power and how young people learning how to navigate relationships are often the victims of it. this book should scare you and make you feel sick, especially knowing that this is a fictionalized insider view of an abuse that many young people have suffered at the hands of older partners.

now please excuse me, i still feel sick and need a minute to collect myself again.
