4 starred reviews!Orange Is the New Black meets Walter Dean Myer’s Monster in this gritty, twisty, and haunting debut by Tiffany D. Jackson about a girl convicted of murder seeking the truth while surviving life in a group home.Mary B. Addison killed a baby. Allegedly. She didn’t say much in that first interview with detectives, and the media filled in the only blanks that mattered: a white baby had died while under the care of a churchgoing black woman and her nine-year-old daughter. The public convicted Mary and the jury made it official. But did she do it? There wasn’t a point to setting the record straight before, but now she’s got Ted—and their unborn child—to think about. When the state threatens to take her baby, Mary’s fate now lies in the hands of the one person she distrusts the most: her Momma. No one knows the real Momma. But does anyone know the real Mary?

"OK idk how to feel about the book. I was probably not in the right headspace to be reading this book cuz it was basically almost 400 pages of trauma and there wasn't even a happy ending for the girl. Like if someone is gonna go through all that, can she get a happy ending where she's gonna be safe, DANG! The ending didn't even really feel satisfying bc the build up wasn't significant enough making the twist feel cliche. "

"That twist really got me. You could see hints of it dropped in here and there but I was still stunned when I read it."

"This one had me in so many ways intrigued. I didn’t know if I was coming or going. This story twisted, dipped and had me all turned around. Everything I thought was going to happen completely turned itself around and didn’t happen. What I thought would turn into a hallmark ending surprised me to no end.
The story was a little much to believe but than the author knitted it together perfectly where now I’m like hmmm… It was a story I really liked and got into and was misled by my own heart.
It wa"
