Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson
4.0

I knew this book would be hard to read, especially after Monday’s Not Coming, but I still thought I could do it lol. I was wrong. I’m really glad we got trigger warnings because you need them with this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat. It was disturbing, dark, and horrifying. The last 40% really messes with your mind as you’re trying to figure out what’s real and what isn’t. The plot twists though ... I am actually still shocked. I do love how it ends though, and it really highlights how the world silences Black women and their voices and stories.
