“Monday’s Not Coming” by Tiffany Jackson follows Claudia, a devoted friend who is determined to find her friend Monday Charles. The novel opens with Claudia returning from a summer at her grandmother’s in Georgia, expecting to reunite with Monday. However, she soon discovers that Monday is not there. As days turn into weeks, Claudia becomes increasingly desperate to discover what happened to her friend. Claudia dives deeper into Monday’s life and discovers Monday’s darkest secrets. Will Claudia find out what happened to Monday? What happened to Monday? Read the book to find out!
Jackson’s writing from the perspective of Claudia is spot on. I felt like I was in Claudia’s shoes when she was searching for Monday. The use of alternating timelines – “The Before,” “The After,” and “One Year Before the Before”, makes the plotline more interesting. The plot twist was very interesting and very surprising. For older/high school teens + adults.
