So far, April has been a month for excellent books. Let's keep that momentum going; this one was an examination of grief and how one girl works through it. More in a review to come tomorrow!

We received an ARC of this book at work, and first of all, let’s just admire this cover. It’s absolutely beautiful. So far, I’ve thought that of both of Kathleen Glasgow’s books. This is one of the first books I’m checking off my Spring TBR. Yay! Dark and emotional, just what we’ve started to associate with a Kathleen Glasgow book.

Throughout the book, we feel Tiger’s raw emotion at losing her mother, so unexpectedly. You can tell that Glasgow did her research about the foster system and how teens can be bounced around from place to place after losing a parent. As reader’s, we feel Tiger’s pain at losing her mother. We feel her pain at feeling like she’s alone in the world. Everything about her story feels real.

The book is also constructed well. Generally, I never really felt like the story or its characters were lacking in any sense. The plot doesn’t function as you might predict, which makes the book feel all the more realistic.

Overall, dark, emotional, and entirely realistic.
