Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson
4.0

CW for rape, abusive relationships, violence against women

A Y.A. contemporary novel about a young singer who gets her big break when she's taken under the wing a one of the world's biggest superstars. But something terrible happens.

This was book was good, and so important. I did feel the ending was rushed. I was hoping for more of a whodunit, but that ended up being a very tiny part of the overall story. The focus was on the relationship, how it started, how it spiraled, and the complicity of adults/industry who could intervene to prevent abuse but don't.
