6/29/2023 0 Comments Monday's not coming![]() ![]() I didn’t pick up this book expecting it to be a light read (because from the second you see the cover you can tell it isn’t) but I seriously did not expect it to be this hard to swallow. Overall I think this book is a little heavy for younger readers (last night I hugged my knees and rocked for several minutes) but it will leave you with a sadness and a new understanding for children who are being abused. The end confused me a bit, Claudia had another “episode” and her parents just let her run around thinking she was 14 and telling police about Monday when everyone else knew she was dead. This is how Monday ended up in the freezer herself. ![]() Monday had some mysterious romantic interactions and she was going to leave her mother and tell people where august was, sitting in that freezer by the door. August had done wrong but he never deserved to die. SPOILERS COMING: So I was shocked and confused at the thought that a mother would beat and kill their children and throw them in a freezer. The language was pretty salty and there where a few mentions of sex but it was alright. I’d say I’m mature for my age (12) and I read a short story by this author and LOVED it so I decided to try this one. ![]()
