Book Review 🤩 Black Girls Must Die Exhausted!
Tabby… is me and I am she. I resonated with this character so much. She shows the not so bright side of dating in your 30s and being ready while our men aren’t so much. The importance of friendship and her promises to Grandmother. She was career driven and just a millennial girl 💕🎱🎀📞 8/10 ⭐️⭐️

A hand holds two books by Tiffany D. Jackson: 'Monday's Not Coming' with a red cover featuring a girl, and 'Allegedly' with a light cover showing a girl and a chair. Bookshelves are visible in the background.
Haven’t Read Allegedly YET
I always see these two books pair together (same author I know), but I don’t wanna confuse really enjoying one and having that expectation for the other. When I read Monday is not coming it was like a jaw dropper. Like Wait a minute what? 😲😲😲 Should I just read allegedly with no expectation?
