A review by owlsreads
Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson

dark emotional tense fast-paced
I won't be rating this due to the story being (I'd say heavily) inspired by the R. Kelly case.

The writing was fantastic, as always, but it was still a difficult read. It definitely served to show red flags re abusive and criminal relationships very clearly despite the book being written from the survivor's perspective--someone who didn't necessarily recognize what was happening to her at the time. It was also very accessible, and I hope it teaches young people to know what to look for and what to be careful of in these types of situations/relationships.
