Stunning
Tiffany D. Jackson is a master storyteller, and in GROWN, she employs one of my favorite aspects of the first novel of hers I read a few years ago (MONDAY’S NOT COMING): a shifting timeline. This expertly crafted plot keeps you engaged, and the past vs present timeline allows you to be fully invested in the journey Enchanted goes on. This novel highlights the importance of having a community, and it confronts all of your preconceived notions about young girls and women who are preyed upon and the circumstances surrounding them. Yes, it’s hard to read at some points and will probably make you want to rage, but it’s such an important story, as well as an excellent thriller.

I bought this book just 2 days ago and finished it in a day such a good book, it was hard to have to read about what Korey did to so many young girls but either way it was such a good story.
