I couldn’t stop reading. Tiffany D Jackson is so fantastic. The parallels of horror to child abuse and missing children is really impactful. I hope young adults see what she’s saying and this book changes them how it changed me. Fantastic book that everyone should read if they’re in the mood for a tough ya mystery/horror.

You think it's bad and then it's just worse.

Spoiler

I think I really had to just brush over the cooler thing or I would've drowned in it. Good lord how sad, it's horrible.

4.0

A slow burn mystery as a girl slowly unravels the mystery of her best friend's disappearance. While haunting, propulsive, at times it can feel as though Jackson has no idea what type of story she is telling or who these characters are and how they should behave--but as the story reveals itself, it becomes clear she's had it well in hang the whole time. This is ultimately a reflection on recognizing the red flags for child abuse, trauma, mental illness, and grief, and how they tie into Black and impoverished communities. Masterfully done, and not one soon to leave your mind.
