This book had me by the neck, I could literally see it playing out in my head.
The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson

As a fan of Carrie and a black woman myself this retelling ATE DOWN!!!! I loved the racial twist on the story, it gave much more reasoning as to why she would snap the way she did. The formatting and pace of this book as well was brilliantly done. It easily kept me engaged (and that’s coming from a mood reader with ADHD).
And the ending??? I love a good ambiguous ending.
(Spoilers from this point forward)
Let me start with: I love Kendrick. I didn’t at first, I thought he was a sell out but then he met Maddy and it was kind of like they started learning and growing together which created this immense bond and intense love. He wanted to give her the world, and because we know he didn’t die and she didn’t die, I hope he was able to do that.
Wherever you are Maddy. I hope that you’re happy. You deserve to be happy ❤️

I liked this book and it’s potential in the beginning, but then I felt the end sort of dwindled on. I wish I liked it more than I did. It’s possible that I was strung out after all the other dark books I’ve read this month. It was just a lot.

To quickly sell you on this book: small town romcom, hero scene, praise

That was… a lot, but I still enjoyed the redemption in the end.

This one was a weird one for me. I didn’t like the emphasis on “I wanted her when she was 17 and couldn’t have her so imagine how much I want her now” also it gave white savior a little bit ngl. It was cute at some parts tho so 2.5 just to be fair.
