9 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 9 to read
The story of an awful, universe-gone-mad-mistake, and one girls emotional battle for clarity and forgiveness Looking for socks in the dresser in her moms bedroom, sixteen-year-old Tiger Tolliver finds a pile of envelopes marked URGENT. Her and her mom have always been a team, but suddenly Tiger starts to wonder if their well-oiled machine is really so well-oiled after all. Because, come to think of it, her mom needs to control everything. The songs on the radio. The truth about the dad shes never met. Whether or not she goes to school dances. She can never just be on her own. And this doesnt even cover the rest of the sixteen million nerve-wracking, day-killing OTHER things shes got going on. Lupe Hidalgo at school for instance, whos only mission in life seems to be making hers a living hell. Band practice with Broken Cradle. The fact that dreamy Kai from Bio is moving to Deutschland for the whole. summer. But then something terrible happens. And Tiger realises that being on her own isnt something she really wants. Not at all. And so begins her quest. To find her dad. To find herself. And a whole heap of others along the way.

WOW 💙 Talk about a heart-wrenching read! Glasglow does a phenomenal job of telling Tiger‘s story. This is definitely an eye-opening must read about a young girl and her journey of loss.

5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

BookNightOwl Oh my heart is breaking into a million pieces. This book was filled with so much raw emotions on the subject of dealing with a death of somebody you love so much. I loved the story that was written on what some children have to deal with when somebody that they thought would always be there to take care of them is suddenly not there any more to do that. How children are moved from foster home to foster home on hopes on finding a forever home but some who just stick around until the age out of the system. What a great read! 5y
LiteraryinPA This wasn‘t on my radar but is now. Thanks! 5y
