Black History Month
Book Of The Month.
This book is addictive.
Tiffany Jackson writes stories about the headlines and she does it in a way that has you hooked from the first page.
I received this as an early reading copy and I loved it from the offset. The characters are compelling and it is like watching a slow train crash as you watch them make life changing decisions.
I will say the blurb on this one is misleading. This is not a mystery it is a dark book about coercion and control.
There is already a buzz about this book and Tiffany has proven herself to be a solid writer with an established fan base.This book is a testament to Tiffany D. Jackson’s brilliant and visceral writing style. This is a sharp, devastating and gripping read, and it is not afraid to tackle difficult subjects.
Don't buy this as a gift for anyone else, because this is a book you won't want to give away.

Why can't Black people find a seat at the table?
If the same man sits down takes the menu from the woman without asking and tells her he will be ordering for her, she would be peeved.
