Monday's Not Coming Reviews
This is the story of how my best friend disappeared. How nobody noticed she was gone except me. And how nobody cared until they found her . . . one year later. This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2018. Even though I disliked the ending of Jackson's Allegedly, it was stil...
Monday? Not Coming was utterly devastating, gripping, dark, intense and it messed with my mind on multiple levels. The various relationships and characters in this were superbly written, with voices brilliantly human and real. This had my heart beating 1000x a minute and breaking in ...
How can a teenage girl just vanish without anyone noticing that she?s gone? Allegedly scrambled my brain with a spork. Monday's Not Coming went for my heart instead. I haven't had a case of the post-book sads this bad since I finished Living Dead Girl. The book hangover is g...

I really liked this. While it does contain mystery and thriller elements; this felt more like an exploration of community relationships, classism and respectability politics. As well as the major issues that this book draws attention to, some of which are spoilers but the obvious one i...

** 4.5 stars ** I don't know if I'll be able to write an actual review using words. I'll try but until then I leave you this. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. Me before reading Monday's Not Coming: Please please please please PLEASE don't let this ruin me. Me once I started reading: ...
I didn?t hate this one. Nor did I love it. I just felt, so underwhelmed. I was kind of expecting this dark mystery thriller book...but instead, I got a really dragged out mystery. I wasn?t bored but again, nothing happened!! A lot of this book was just filler and I cared about a...
WTF DID I JUST READ?! TOTAL. MIND. EFF. *Edit 05/18/2018* You can find more of my reviews here at my blog: Take Me Away... Having missed her debut last year, when the reviews started rolling in, I knew that I had missed out on something really good. Because of that, I added ...
This is the story of how my best friend disappeared. How nobody noticed she was gone except me. And how nobody cared until they found her . . . one year later. This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2018. Even though I disliked the ending of Jackson's Allegedly, it was stil...
Monday? Not Coming was utterly devastating, gripping, dark, intense and it messed with my mind on multiple levels. The various relationships and characters in this were superbly written, with voices brilliantly human and real. This had my heart beating 1000x a minute and breaking in ...
How can a teenage girl just vanish without anyone noticing that she?s gone? Allegedly scrambled my brain with a spork. Monday's Not Coming went for my heart instead. I haven't had a case of the post-book sads this bad since I finished Living Dead Girl. The book hangover is g...
I know what you?re thinking. How can a whole person, a kid, disappear and no one say a word? Like, if the sun just up and left one day, you?d think someone would sound an alarm, right? But Ma used to say, not everyone circles the same sun. I never knew what she meant by that until...
I really liked this. While it does contain mystery and thriller elements; this felt more like an exploration of community relationships, classism and respectability politics. As well as the major issues that this book draws attention to, some of which are spoilers but the obvious one i...

While I didn't enjoy this as much as Jackson's debut, I'm glad I stuck with it. Another overlook on my part; I wasn't aware that the narrator is actually in middle school. Claudia's voice felt very young & naļve (now I understand why) & was debating whether or not to continue....

I didn?t hate this one. Nor did I love it. I just felt, so underwhelmed. I was kind of expecting this dark mystery thriller book...but instead, I got a really dragged out mystery. I wasn?t bored but again, nothing happened!! A lot of this book was just filler and I cared about a...
WTF DID I JUST READ?! TOTAL. MIND. EFF. *Edit 05/18/2018* You can find more of my reviews here at my blog: Take Me Away... Having missed her debut last year, when the reviews started rolling in, I knew that I had missed out on something really good. Because of that, I added ...
I knew this book was going to be heartbreaking. But, it's devastating on so many levels. It's beautifully written and the characters are fantastic. The way the story unfolds makes you hold out a little bit of hope, even when you know there isn't any. Severe trigger warnings for chil...

This is the story of how my best friend disappeared. How nobody noticed she was gone except me. And how nobody cared until they found her . . . one year later. This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2018. Even though I disliked the ending of Jackson's Allegedly, it was stil...

How can a teenage girl just vanish without anyone noticing that she?s gone? Allegedly scrambled my brain with a spork. Monday's Not Coming went for my heart instead. I haven't had a case of the post-book sads this bad since I finished Living Dead Girl. The book hangover is g...
I know what you?re thinking. How can a whole person, a kid, disappear and no one say a word? Like, if the sun just up and left one day, you?d think someone would sound an alarm, right? But Ma used to say, not everyone circles the same sun. I never knew what she meant by that until...

?Who?s really responsible for your well-being - your family, the government, or your community?? I think this book is a very important read to shine light on situations affecting missing children of color. The MCs best friend goes missing and no one seems to notice or care but...
This is the story of how my best friend disappeared. How nobody noticed she was gone except me. And how nobody cared until they found her . . . one year later. This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2018. Even though I disliked the ending of Jackson's Allegedly, it was stil...
Monday? Not Coming was utterly devastating, gripping, dark, intense and it messed with my mind on multiple levels. The various relationships and characters in this were superbly written, with voices brilliantly human and real. This had my heart beating 1000x a minute and breaking in ...
How can a teenage girl just vanish without anyone noticing that she?s gone? Allegedly scrambled my brain with a spork. Monday's Not Coming went for my heart instead. I haven't had a case of the post-book sads this bad since I finished Living Dead Girl. The book hangover is g...
I know what you?re thinking. How can a whole person, a kid, disappear and no one say a word? Like, if the sun just up and left one day, you?d think someone would sound an alarm, right? But Ma used to say, not everyone circles the same sun. I never knew what she meant by that until...
I really liked this. While it does contain mystery and thriller elements; this felt more like an exploration of community relationships, classism and respectability politics. As well as the major issues that this book draws attention to, some of which are spoilers but the obvious one i...
"Who's really responsible for your well-being? Your family, the government, or your community?" Monday's Not Coming is a standalone YA/mystery novel written by Tiffany D. Jackson. Although a bit taxing to follow with its three alternating timelines and unfortunately not incredibly ...
While I didn't enjoy this as much as Jackson's debut, I'm glad I stuck with it. Another overlook on my part; I wasn't aware that the narrator is actually in middle school. Claudia's voice felt very young & naļve (now I understand why) & was debating whether or not to continue....

**I reread MONDAY?S NOT COMING immediately after finishing, keeping the spoilers I knew about the timeline in mind and I have to to say #TiffanyDJackson brilliantly put the story together with just enough clues that readers more astute than me might discover the meaning of which part...
There goes one of my most anticipated releases of the year. I wouldn?t say it?s a disappointment, but sadly not going to be a new favorite. 3 1/2 stars This story follows Claudia, a young teen who has a best friend named Monday. When Claudia returns to school at the start of the...
10/6/2017: COVER REVEAL!! also, Washington DC is amazing. 8/17/2017: look, her debut novel is one of my all-time favorite books. I can't even imagine how good this will be. ...
2.5 stars ?...It?s hard facing a mirror and seeing all you are made of and all you couldn?t absorb. But I?m open to be changed. To be in a place where I can hold all the colors I love at once, appreciate what they are and learn from them. I?m open to new beginnings.? Th...

** 4.5 stars ** I don't know if I'll be able to write an actual review using words. I'll try but until then I leave you this. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. Me before reading Monday's Not Coming: Please please please please PLEASE don't let this ruin me. Me once I started reading: ...
I didn?t hate this one. Nor did I love it. I just felt, so underwhelmed. I was kind of expecting this dark mystery thriller book...but instead, I got a really dragged out mystery. I wasn?t bored but again, nothing happened!! A lot of this book was just filler and I cared about a...
WTF DID I JUST READ?! TOTAL. MIND. EFF. *Edit 05/18/2018* You can find more of my reviews here at my blog: Take Me Away... Having missed her debut last year, when the reviews started rolling in, I knew that I had missed out on something really good. Because of that, I added ...
I knew this book was going to be heartbreaking. But, it's devastating on so many levels. It's beautifully written and the characters are fantastic. The way the story unfolds makes you hold out a little bit of hope, even when you know there isn't any. Severe trigger warnings for chil...
I didn't mean to finish this in one day, but here we have it!I definitely recommend the audiobook of this one. Enjoyable and it definitely kept me hooked, but not a new fav. ...
I'm trying this again because my first review was deleted. This review will have spoilers because I won't be able to stress how important a specific topic is. Claudia and Monday are best friends,more like sisters. One day,out of the blue, Monday goes missing. Claudia seems to be the ...
