Damn, Tiffany Jackson and her unwell, unbelieved Black girls. So far I am 3 for 3 with her books. They hurt and are beautiful.

An amazing read! One of my favourite reads of this year. Impeccable cast of characters and outrageous plot line and the plot twists though out the weeks. My one thing is that this book follows the trauma of a black girl named Enchanted. The black trauma in this book is quiet a lot but I feel like Tiffany handled it quiet well with this very traumatic topic. Please check and read the content warnings as this is quiet a heavy book.

 Wow. This was powerful. Glad I finally read this. This hits deep and really makes you think. Lots of triggers in this one. I'm not one to be bothered by many triggers and even this one was hard for me to read and made me need to take breaks.
