I was super excited to get the book, so when it arrived, I dived right in! And please believe I was not let down! From the first two pages, I was transported into its written world. The book kept me engaged and entwined the whole entire time. It is definitely a work that has to be finished right then and there. I can’t wait for the next piece from Ms. Brooke Shaine!

WOW
Thicker is an incredible journey and a PAGE TURNER! It had me on the edge of my seat the entire way through. While this book explores a dark story of trauma and tragedy, it also celebrates the beauty and steadfastness of sisterhood. Great read!

I'm reading it.
The first chapter was tough! Domestic violence isn't easy to read! But I'm about to start chapter two. It is very well written!

This book really pulls you in!
I read 3 chapters before I even put the book down. And the next day I was right back getting deeper into it.
