Monday's Not Coming

withered_roze shared a tip "As engaging as it is heartbreaking. This story feels so true to life, and provides so many raw emotions from the characters. In its own way, ‘Monday’s Not Coming’ can teach all of us something: not everything is as it seems. Not even the people you thought you knew best."

quinn_spencer_4181 shared a tip "4/5. I think it couldve benefitted for more light hearted moments. The nonlinear timeline is neat and things are by nature complicated in this story. As is with real life"

keyara_jackson shared a tip "Love this book and it hits you in your feels that were unexpected. It's very much so in that same commentary vein as Brenda's Baby."

gregorythedino shared a tip "I absolutely loved this book. I read it all in one day because it was that good. I was crying and smiling and feeling everything all at once. Amazing book. 10/5 stars."

paige_swafford shared a tip "5/5 stars for me. This book was heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, and kept me on my toes throughout every page I flipped. This book does have trigger warnings such as homophobic acts, bullying, Sa, child abuse, and murder. However, this book was definitely a suspenseful psychological thriller that would keep you wondering why and how Claudia’s best friend Monday went “missing”. I would definitely recommend this book if you are okay with some of the sensitive subjects talked about in the book."

bella_walbrun shared a tip "This is an amazing book with a great story to tell and heartwarming characters. Even if you don’t prefer mystery, give this one a go and maybe it will change your mind. I know it changed mine :)"

damon_pierson_jr shared a tip "Definitely different from any other books I’ve read. Breathtaking, Attention-grabbing, realistic but also mysterious. I definitely recommend it."

destry_brown shared a tip "It was a good mystery even though I thought I knew what happened to Monday. It was also a tragic story of life for many of our children."

baylee_burriola shared a tip "I love how the author brings to light the way people of color often go missing, if they’re from certain parts of the city, they are either runways, hooked on drugs, prostitution and basically not worth looking for. Everyone needs a friend like Claudia, she is the definition of ride or die and Monday will always be apart of her story."

roxanne_sky shared a tip "This is my favorite book I read so far!! It got some spicy parts tho not my favorite to read but other than that it’s a great book! "

tina_5544 shared a tip "I enjoyed this book, although the ending was heartbreaking. The author's writing is incredible, creating imagery through colorful similes throughout the text. The creative writing is somewhat poetic but easy to interpret and visualize. Great read for younger and older readers. I highly recommend!"

hannah_grace_7050 shared a tip "Absolutely loved this book!! Really hits some hard topics from views you'd never think of. I loved the character development with April and Claudia"

emily_longenberger shared a tip "I really just liked the complexity of the over all plot. I thought it was beautifully written to show the multiple perspectives and how cases of abuse and neglect are so easily overlooked and not stopped. It helps show that it’s not that people don’t care, but that there are so many layers of caring for yourself, caring for yours and caring for others that we don’t always see on the surface of a situation."

Kam_Smithh shared a tip "I never wanted to put the book down the entire time I was reading it. The storytelling and the way the author used a real life event to portray the point of view of someone else we may not even know is breathtaking. The ending came to such a shock and plot twist to me. I will forever hold a memory of this book."

rachel_lyon_1768 shared a tip "This was my first book to read since 2016! I was nervous to begin reading again, but this book was so hard to put down. I had to force myself every night! It for sure played with my head, made me want to jump around the book to find answers! But this writer is so great with words she made you picture everything she wrote! 1000% recommend to everyone!"

payton_6755 shared a tip "This i think by far is one of my favorite books that I've read, the plot twist is literally jaw dropping and the emotions that I felt during this shows how good of writing this is! It is an amazing book and I recommend to anyone who wants to read it!"

awesome_user_374615 shared a tip "I’d give this book 8.6/10 stars. If I would have read this book when I was in 8th-10th grade it would have been one of my favorite books. As an adult it’s just a touch too youthful. I loved that the story is told on a non linear timeline. It’s both thought provoking and timely."

hattie_amanda shared a tip "I really enjoyed the book. The Audio book on Libby is great, the reader is the perfect voice and it’s told in first person so it had a great flow. Definitely emotional, I wasn’t in love with the ending, but it’s def worth the read and I would recommend it. Never had any parts I got bored with."

hattie_amanda shared a tip "Just finished this audiobook, which was brilliantly recorded with a great voice that really went with the story. Looking for other books with a similar feel. I love twists and turns, got a bit dark in parts as well. I loved that there was some parts about dance as well. Anyone have any recommendations?"

jayj shared a tip "This book made me cry. Its amazing. It is breaking me, because when I think back on what I read I truly feel the main characters pain, and it hit hard because of how the author builds up the relationship and dynamic. Amazing read."
