I enjoy the novel. The audiobook brought life to the story. It was like listening to a true crime on the ID channel.

Left speechless, this book is 10/10. My only issue is I want more, please make a 2nd/follow up because I connected with these characters and the storyline was genius

O-M-G! This book is so good. I am trying to branch out from the genres I usually read. I decided to read this book due to it being October and the month of Halloween. Using Steven King's Carrie as inspiration, I initially thought that this was going to be a knock-off. Tiffany D. Jackson made this story her own. Madison has a big secret! She is constantly bullied by her classmates. However, when it is revealed that she is forced to pass for white by her father even though she is biracial, the bullying intensifies. This text was full of drama and racial tension. However, I love how Maddy got a chance to experience growth and a true friendship/love in the midst of the chaos. Maddie is very lovable, and you will find yourself rooting for the "villain." But is she really a villain, or just a victim of her circumstances? The audiobook made this 10x better. My adrenaline is still rushing!

I liked this a lot. I think it's better than Carrie

[Dana Williams · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I LOVE how the dissection of race, class, colorism, and sex are so eloquently threaded through this re-imaging of "Carrie". All the different POVs were spot on and really helped the reader see a complete picture. ??

I enjoyed the narrative style so much! The story is heartbreaking but it's my second book by this author and I guess it's just her style. Enjoyed the modern version of Carrie.

[pfbs9k49zg · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book was so good and had me hooked from the beginning.

[AJ · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed this story! The prom scene was a bit predictable but other than that, I liked this story. I was rooting for Kendrick and Maddy in the end. Wendy had to grow through some things to reach her potential but she got there.

[Nadine Cunningham · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

WOW!!! This story engulfed me!!! I winded up finishing it in a day. If you enjoyed the Carrie stories you'll love this

[Alina Medvedevaitė · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Despite book itself being the great piece of horror, voice actors made it even better. The narration between storyline proceeding and podcast hosts depicting of what happened was brilliant.

[Kenia Ramirez · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Loved the book but audiobook is broken. Please fix since it skipped a lot

[Rani Desiree · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It was giving… Carrie. I rolled my eyes at some parts but once I started listening I couldn’t stop.

[V Shep · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

First novel by Jackson …very interesting in deed. Not my typical read

[tee. · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Damn Ms. Jackson knows how to write one helluva story. A great modern twist on an old story/movie like Carrie. Enjoyed it from beginning to end. She is always hitting on social commentary in her stories and I love it. The multiple voice actors, the mixed media, the background sound effects ugh it was so great. I can’t wait to continue to dive into Ms. Jackson’s backlist.

[Rose Villaraza · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Such a brilliant and powerful take on the classic Carrie. I appreciated how this modern re-imagining of that cult classic explored the multiple perspectives from characters surrounding the epic catastrophe that took place during that One Prom Night.

Highly highly recommend!!!

[Samantha · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Right away you can see that this is a modern retelling of Carrie. I will say the cover and the title definitely drew me in though. Some parts are hard to listen to but very necessary and real. Even though we know what happens, I was still on the edge of my seat DYING to know what happens next lol! The narration, the acting, the music... Amazing

[Victoria Nyquist · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A modern retelling of Carrie…some parts made me want to scream but mostly I wanted to hug Maddy. Loved the production of the audiobook. Making parts sound like a podcast and including multiple narrators helped with the storytelling 10/10

[Sarah Ibekwelu · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Nice read/listen too! Loved the production and effort and the retelling of a classic with new twist and turns.

[gerlinde mueller · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The audio playback was very stop and go… too many missing paragraphs. I would have enjoyed the story .

[RJ Roque · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What an experience ! For new generations and the fans of the old best selling tale of "Carrie". This new take is absolutely exquisite and different on its own, yet it drizzled with classic parallels without disrespecting original source material and staying original to its own take. Love love love this book! MUST READ!!!

[Katrina Thaxton · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Omg what a book. I love Tiffany Jackson writing style and her take on the Carrie horror story. The ending will leave you really wondering.

[Jill N · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]
