"Grown exposes the underbelly of a tough conversation, providing a searing examination of misogynoir, rape culture, and the vulnerability of young black girls. Groundbreaking, heart-wrenching, and essential reading for all in the #MeToo era." --Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles Award-winning author Tiffany D. Jackson delivers another riveting, ripped-from-the-headlines mystery that exposes horrific secrets hiding behind the limelight and embraces the power of a young woman's voice. When legendary R&B artist Korey Fields spots Enchanted Jones at an audition, her dreams of being a famous singer take flight. Until Enchanted wakes up with blood on her hands and zero memory of the previous night. Who killed Korey Fields? Before there was a dead body, Enchanted's dreams had turned into a nightmare. Because behind Korey's charm and star power was a controlling dark side. Now he's dead, the police are at the door, and all signs point to Enchanted."Never have I read a story that so flawlessly hits the highest high and lowest low notes of Black girlhood in pursuit of the American Dream." --Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin and Jackpot--BookPage (starred review)

    This book really hit home. The connection to what's currently happening in the world is too real. The way the red flags have been visible from the beginning, the way the manipulation was done, it was really scary and way too realistic.

    "Innocent until proven guilty." "Yeah, and how many times has that little rule worked in favor of black women?"

    Auch dieses Buch gefiel mir gut. Das Thema ist harter Tobak und sehr real geschildert. Nichts für sanftere Gemüter. Es geht um Missbrauch, sogenanntes "Grooming", Freiheitsberaubung, Vergewaltigung, Drogenkonsum etc. Aber die Autorin schafft es, eine Geschichte daraus zu machen, die man gelesen haben sollte.
