Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson

Award-winning author Tiffany D. Jackson delivers another riveting, ripped-from-the-headlines mystery that exposes horrific secrets hiding in the limelight and the power of a young woman’s voice.

Content warning: this story was heavily inspired by the R. Kelly case. All warnings pertaining to that apply.

The writing was fantastic, as always, but it was still a difficult read. It definitely served to show red flags re abusive and criminal relationships very clearly despite the book being written from the survivor's perspective--someone who didn't necessarily recognize what was happening to her at the time. It was also very accessible, and I hope it teaches young people to know what to look for and what to be careful of in these types of situations/relationships.
