Allegedly
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?

Cos wtf did I just read? Like. . What? How?
Y’all I was so mad for Mary, wanting to throw this book across the room. I felt all her emotions .. sad, hurt, pity .. to only feel soooooooo manipulated now.
It’s been like 10 minutes since I’ve finished & I’m still sitting in the SAME SPOT, JAW STILL ON THE FLOOR. I never saw that coming .. will I ever recuperate from this? Probably. . . Never.
