This one broke my heart a little bit. I love this author's writing and I am committed to reading through their back titles.

Really mixed feelings about this.
It was a little too slow paced for me to fully immerse myself into. There were clues leading up to the twist, which was kind of predictable, but the back and forth of Befores and Afters made it slightly hard for me to follow. 
On the other hand, this book hits so hard because it's so close to real life, it's splintering to see almost real time how kids can just fall through the cracks, it's heartbreaking.

This was an incredibly hard read, but that just goes to show just how raw and real the emotions you get from it are. it was a tragic story but it was also a beautiful one, it shone light on issues that were due a shining and the writing was perfect. each scene was incredibly raw and i caught myself having to take multiple breaks in between scenes just to recover from the text. i dont regret reading this book one bit. it was very hard to get through but very much worth it.

At first I was like "YA? 😒" but after staying up late to read the second half of this book, I'm now heartbroken

emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

3.0

Tiffany D. Jackson osaa kirjoittaa! Tämäkin oli vetävästi ja koukuttavasti kirjoitettu ya-trilleri, joka vei ainakin yhdet yöunet aikuiseltakin. Realistinen tyyli ja esimerkiksi lukihäiriö päähenkilöllä olivat varsin ansiokkaasti toteutettuja.

En vaan yksinkertaisesti pitänyt kirjan lopullisesta ideasta. Pidin kyllä siitä, että Jacksonin aiempien kirjojen, kuten Rajattoman, tavoin tässäkin käsiteltiin sellaisia asioita, joista on vaikea puhua ja kirjoittaa. Mustat nuoret joutuvat käymään läpi sellaisia asioita elämässään, jotka todellakin rikkovat.
