Review

“A mesmerizing, punch-in-the-gut story about the power of friendship and the horrors hiding right in front of us.” (Laurie Halse Anderson, author of Speak and Chains)“This thought-provoking thriller examines issues such as abuse, gentrification, and the marginalization of people of color with nuance and sensitivity. The narrative deftly moves back and forth between past and present, building to a devastating conclusion. A spellbinding, profoundly moving choice for YA collections.” (School Library Journal (starred review))“Jackson effortlessly weaves elements of suspense with issues of race, class, and gender, casting a harsh light on a world that often refuses to notice the disappearances of black and brown girls. The twist at the end is both gaspworthy and heartbreaking.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review))“Jackson doesn’t hold anything back when it comes to the pain of abuse and the ramifications of turning a blind eye. It’s a frank, devastating read filled with real and flawed characters, and it’s a story that needs to be read.” (Booklist)“In addition to a gripping plot line, underlying social issues bubble beneath the surface, such as neighborhood gentrification, race, poverty, community, the healing of connection, and the destruction in disconnection.” (The Horn Book)“The gravest, most fundamental challenge in Tiffany D. Jackson’s devastating novel is leveled at a society that purports to value children while allowing untold numbers of them, particularly poor children and children of color, to fall through the cracks.” (Chicago Tribune)PRAISE FOR ALLEGEDLY: ★ “With remarkable skill, Jackson offers an unflinching portrayal of the raw social outcomes when youth are entrapped in a vicious cycle of nonparenting and are sent spiraling down the prison-for-profit pipeline. Dark, suspenseful.” (School Library Journal (starred review))★ “Her novel effectively joins Ava DuVernay’s documentary 13th and Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow (2010) to become another indictment of the penal system’s decimating power beyond its bars and, more subtly and refreshingly, a pro-reproductive-justice novel. Searing and true.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))★ “The characters are complex, the situation unsettling, and the line between right and wrong hopelessly blurred. It’s also intensely relevant, addressing race, age, and mental illness within the criminal justice system. Well conceived and executed, this is an absorbing and exceptional first novel.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))★ “Suspenseful without being emotionally manipulative, compelling without resorting to shock value, this is a tightly spun debut that wrestles with many intense ideas and ends with a knife twist that will send readers racing back to the beginning again.” (Booklist (starred review))

Only a few books out of the thousands I’ve read impacted me more than MONDAY’S NOT COMING. The irony is that I almost didn’t buy it because it seemed to be directed toward younger readers. Do not make my faulty assumption, which was based on the age of the protagonists.Claudia, a fourteen-year-old African American girl, begins the book by saying, “This is the story of how my best friend disappeared.” Monday Charles has been like a sister to Claudia, and when she doesn’t arrive at school the first day, Claudia knows something is wrong. Days pass with no sign of Monday, and Claudia is becoming frantic.Claudia and Monday live in subsidized housing in Washington, DC. Both are poor, but Monday is poorer. Claudia comes from a stable, loving family; Monday’s family has problems. She is like a surrogate daughter to Claudia’s parents. Claudia and Monday are inseparable, although Claudia spent the summer with her grandmother in Atlanta.When Claudia questions Monday’s family, she can’t get a straight answer. Monday’s neighborhood is known to be dangerous, and she can’t get help there either. She expresses her concern to her teachers and guidance counselor, but almost everyone assures her that Monday is fine. One special teacher reports Monday’s absence to social services and is given the runaround. Monday’s mother tells all questioners that her daughter is with her father; Monday’s sister says, “Her aunt.” And those stories change.The tension builds as time passes with no sign of Monday. Claudia and her family report Monday’s disappearance to the police, and again are told not to worry “because teenage girls often run away.” With the exception of Claudia’s family, nobody understands the bond between the two girls. Monday would never have run away without telling Claudia.This book addresses racism, prejudice, gentrification, social services and the criminal justice system when applied to the disadvantaged living in Section 8 housing. Just imagine if Monday were named Sloan, lived on Park Avenue and attended prep school in Manhattan. Would everyone in authority do nothing if “Sloan” insisted that her lifelong best friend had disappeared? I see “Breaking News” banners flashing, and an Amber Alert issued.Tiffany Jackson did everything right when she wrote MONDAY’S NOT COMING. The Quentin Tarantino-esque timeline is brilliant, especially so when I reached the end. I was caught completely offguard as I reached the last page, but what a logical conclusion the book reached. And who couldn’t fall in love with Claudia and Monday? Anyone with a best friend understands that bond, and I would be lucky to have a persistent friend like Claudia. She never gives up. It is obvious to me that Tiffany Jackson poured her heart into this book; she certainly grabbed mine.

If a middle school student disappears, shouldn’t people care? If that child is a cute white girl from a middle or wealthy class family, her face is plastered over the news. Her sobbing family look sympathetic during press conferences. The police and maybe the FBI are involved. Friends, neighbors and strangers join search parties. This is, but should not be privilege. When that child is a black girl from the projects, the police (sometimes) assume she’s a runaway. If social services are involved with the family, she may slip through the cracks. She’s rarely headline news.4.5 STARSClaudia’s best friend Monday doesn’t show up for the first day of eighth grade and no one seems concerned. No one but Claudia. Monday’s mother says the young teen is with her father, Monday’s sister says she’s with an aunt. The school says she’s not registered. Claudia’s mother says Monday will turn up. As days turn into weeks into months Claudia is more determined to find her best friend.I wanted to fall in love with Tiffany Jackson’s sophomore effort as much as her debut ALLEGEDLY, but the layout was too confusing to follow. Chapters were labeled Before and After, and also Before Before and 2 Years Before Before so I was often confused about what time period I was reading. If Before has been before Monday disappeared it might have been a bit easier. Upon completing the book, I understood why Jackson chose ambiguity, but it took away from my enjoyment.I just loved Claudia and her complexity. Monday was her only friend, her other half, the one who gave her confidence. Suddenly alone, Claudia’s dyslexia becomes more apparent. She fears the Stupid Class. Dance is her salvation, but she feels like she doesn’t belong with the best group.MONDAY’S NOT COMING made me mad and sad and frustrated as a system too overworked and under serviced to take notice. Pointing fingers is easy. Most professionals, teachers, counselors, social workers do their best in difficult circumstances. Unfortunately, their best can fail kids like Monday.Anything more I want to say about MONDAY’S NOT COMING falls into the *spoiler* category. Jackson is a writer worth exploring. Her books have made me think and feel in areas novels don’t often touch.

This book was absolutely gut-wrenching. I honestly don't even know what to say. I read it in a single sitting, and I don't think I'm going to forget it any time soon. This book should be required reading--it touches on so much, from teen sexuality to racism to gentrification to child abuse to friendship. I honestly might have to come back and write a better review later, because this book...ahh. I can't do it justice.

The wonky timeline and the not-so-great writing made this book hard for me to love...What exactly does One Year Before The Before or Two Years Before The Before even mean? Wouldn't it have been easier using years? It would have offered so much more clarity to the reader, that's a certainty. I honestly never quite knew where I was in the time line of the story. And without giving anything away, the "twist" at the end of the story made it even worse.I appreciate what the author was trying to do, but I don't believe she achieved her goals with this story. It's just so awkwardly written.2.5 stars

Powerful, heart wrenching, tear jerking novel about teens in the DC suburbs. My heart is just breaking for Monday, Tuesday, August, April, and Claudia, and all children who are missing. I am in a funk now, missing Monday, Claudia, Michael, and all the strong and richly developed characters in this novel. I’m anxiously waiting for your next one, Ms. Jackson.
