I’m honestly not sure how I feel about this book.  It just felt like it fell kind of short. Like the plot twist wasn’t really something that was a twist it was just like ugh really.

This was my third book by Tiffany D. Jackson and I think it was amazing for the most part. I really like her writing style and the way her stories make me all emotional and angry at the same time. The topics in her books are SO important, and I also like her twists, since they manage to surprise me even when I'm expecting them. This time however, I'm a little bit disappointed by one of the twists. It’s great one plot wise, but I think it does take away from the important messages a bit. This is still a really, really good book.

I found this story very compelling despite being a tad predictable. I think the synopsis gives too much of the plot away but I still enjoyed reading it very much.

This is my second Tiffany D. Jackson book and it didn't disappoint. 

The writing draws you in, investing you in the characters and the plot line. I listened to it on audiobook and it definitely added to the atmosphere.
