1.0

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.

5.0

I was torn between giving the book 4.5 and 5 stars, leaned towards five stars because of the plot twist at the end. During the book you find yourself really rooting for the protagonist. Throughout the book I began developing theories about the events that took place and both were wrong 😭

My only dislike was there was not clear indication that we had moved from one setting to another making it a bit confusing at times

3.0

this would’ve been a 4⭐️ if it weren’t for the constant caricaturization of the other girls in the group home. the constant use of fatphobia and colorism to describe tara made me uncomfortable in particular. also the the twist wasn’t as shocking as i thought it would be
