I hard a hard time connecting to Enchanted, but once I did, I was devouring the book, and then it ended. Because of that, I wish it had been told differently, the first part seemed to take forever. But still, a good read. Definitely intense and necessary!

Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson was a powerful and difficult read. The story begins with the murder of R&B singer Korey Fields. Enchanted Jones wakes up covered in blood with no memory of what happened. Surely, she's not responsible for this? The story then treks back through how Korey and Enchanted became connected. Enchanted was a young aspiring singer with dreams of making it big. Korey spots her at a talent competition and takes her under his wing. Taking her under his wing begins to evolve into a very toxic relationship. Korey controls Enchanted's every move through isolation and power plays. Enchanted is literally trapped, and Korey uses lies to further exert his control over her, but also reminds her he's doing it to give her a big break. This was a heavy read given its subject matter, AND it's so important a story like this told. This author covers tough topics in her books in such a captivating and compelling way.

Someone explain to me why I like to read books that make me feel pain..

This was hard to read due to the content but it was excellent. This really had me guessing from beginning to end. I don't know what to do with my life now. I feel broken. I am looking forward to reading other books by the author.
