Monday's Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson

dark emotional inspiring sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I cried so hard at the end, it hurt to see how Monday didn’t get a happy ending. However the memory of Monday being lavender and dancing with Claudia at the end was bittersweet (she became free in memory not reality). 
 Jackson is amazing in how she ties the issues that plague the black community in this book especially the carelessness of the police and the cps in saving the kids. Also i love how Jackson used different colors to symbolize the different characters personalities and how their emotions change the way the color is used.
