This is the sixth book I have read from Jackson and I don't know what else I can say about her writing. She has earned herself a spot on my list of favorite authors and I cannot wait to see what she does next. This title, Grown, takes inspiration from the real-life events of R. Kelly and other stories of grooming in the entertainment industry. Like many of her other books, it is difficult content-wise, and readers should be aware of that before diving in. For this reason, Grown would be a great book club pick. Since the plot tackles such difficult topics, I think discussing and debriefing these moments would be beneficial
