How to Make Friends with the Dark

by Kathleen Glasgow

From the New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces comes a novel about love and loss and learning how to continue when it feels like you're surrounded by darkness.

"A rare and powerful novel." --Karen M. McManus, New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying and Two Can Keep a Secret

Tiger's life changed with a simple phone call. Her mother has died. That's when darkness descended on her otherwise average life.

Tiger's mother never talked about her father, and with no grandparents or aunts or uncles, her world is packed into a suitcase and moved to a foster home. And another. And another. Until hope surfaces in the shape of . . . a sister?

Sometimes family comes in forms you don't recognize. But can Tiger learn to make friends with the darkness before it swallows her whole?

"Stunning and beautifully written."-HelloGiggles

"Breathtaking and heartbreaking." --Jennifer Niven, New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places

[Brianna]

*3.5

I really loved the ending of this and it made me a bit emotional. But I personally found the first half to be kind of slow and boring, while the second half felt really rushed. I wanted to love this but I think the author's writing style just doesn't work for me. However, this is definitely a great and super accurate representation and exploration of grief, who you are after losing your favourite person and what family really means.
