The whole time I was reading this book I was on pins and needles in anticipation of finding out what happened to Monday. When we finally find out my stomach dropped in horror and disbelief. This novel was heartbreaking and powerful. It was a thriller, but also a coming of age story, and also a societal critique about community and why it's important to know your neighbors and why it can be necessary to be all up in someone's business if you're worried about them. This is one I will be thinking about for a long time. Highly recommend.
