Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson was a moving, tense story of a teenage girl, Enchanted, who becomes ensnared with an older man who is a celebrity. His celebrity and a bit of charm lure Enchanted in as she desires a singing career. 

Soon the relationship goes from chaste and sweet (in her eyes) to manipulating and abusive. Much of the narrative focuses on the twisted relationship, but there is an element of mystery as well. 

This book will not leave you feeling happy and cheerful, but it is an important story about believing women and about avoiding toxic relationships. The mystery woven throughout and twisty ending were satisfying and helped break up the overwhelming feelings I got from the often intense dynamics between characters. 

I think this a very thoughtful and engaging novel, bringing to light important issues while still providing an entertaining experience.
