Keeping.Volumes.Harris’s Reviews > Mary Not Broken > Status Update

Mary feels completely unhinged right now… and I don’t even say that lightly. 😬 Everything she’s been through is catching up to her at once, and it shows in every choice she’s making. This isn’t an easy listen anymore—it’s intense, messy, and hard to look away from as we head toward the end. 📚

Now it’s Melvin’s turn to shake things up… and at this point I’m just watching everything spiral toward the finish. 😬 The way these characters keep cycling through hurt, control, and consequences is intense. I’m locked in, but I already know the ending is going to have me sitting in silence. 📚🤷🏽‍♀️

Whew… the tables have turned. 😬 Mary is starting to sound and move just like her mama with Ruthie, and I don’t even think she realizes it. This book is really showing how cycles repeat when they’re not broken. It’s uncomfortable, but I can’t look away. 📚🎧💔

My heart hurts for Mary. 💔 Watching her endure another beating was hard enough, but then John didn't even show up when she needed him. Every time I think she's about to catch a break, life knocks her back down. This story is emotionally exhausting in the best way—I need Mary to win for once. 😔📚

Mary is wearing me OUT. 😩 Now she's messing with a younger guy?! Sis is collecting complications instead of peace. Every chapter has me shaking my head, but I can't stop listening. This story is pure drama. 🫣📚

Just when I thought the drama couldn't get any messier... Ruthie jumped in the fight. 😳 Everybody's catching strays at this point! This book is serving emotion, tension, and nonstop chaos. I can't look away. 🍿📚

Mary has me clutching my pearls. 😩 She's pregnant and still smoking like a chimney while her life stays one big emotional roller coaster. This book keeps throwing punches, and I can't stop listening. I'm rooting for Mary, but she is making me nervous!

The boxing gloves are OFF. 🤯 Mary escaped one controlling situation only to land in another. My heart breaks for her because every time she reaches for freedom, someone tries to clip her wings. I'm fully invested now and hoping she finally catches a break. 💔📚

10% in and I'm already rooting for Mary. 💔 The story has strong Color Purple vibes—a young Black woman fighting for a voice in a world determined to silence her. Mary's smart mouth is getting her in trouble, but I can't blame her. I'm hooked and hoping she finds a way to claim her own life.
