Holy shit, this was fantastic. I didn't realise that this was her first book because it doesn't read like one. It's polished and great. Jackson is just an amazing author.

Disappointing, but on par for this author. The amount of unnecessary trauma/drama thrown into this story left a bad taste in my mouth towards all Tiffany D. Jackson books. 

How much can I witness one character be dragged through before I can no longer suspend disbelief? 

Seems like she just enjoys torturing her characters. 

The amount of colorism, racism, fat shaming, ableism, false 'mental health' representation, abuse, mentions of rape and molestation, inappropriate sexual relationships, stereotypes, and just downright torture for shock value that took place in this book - disgusting.
