My Review

This book had me hooked from the first page down to the last page. The author writes amazingly and covered the themes of child abuse,race, sex trafficking, murder, fame, stardom, and justice system thoroughly in the book. It felt real flipping page after page of this fictional novel.

I picked up this book because of its cover. I love the picture, and the book title “Grown” inscribed between her earring hoop made me curious. The main character “Enchanted ” tells a story that pulls the reader deep into the plot. The suspense, plot twists, and grammar were easy to understand . Korey Fields represent many things in society, and it is our duty to protect young girls. I love Gab in the book. I am doing my best not to give out spoilers but read this book if you are a female, have female friends , daughters, sisters, family. This book is an eye opener especially for young girls who are yet to see the world.

I reviewed a personal hardcover copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are mine.
