This was dark and sometimes hard to read, especially if you’ve experienced loss it hit a lot of the thoughts and feelings swirling around inside.

This is a very very heavy read. First off let’s just put it out there that Kai is a real jerk for leaving Tiger like that.
This book isn’t just about loosing a mother it’s about grieving,having to grow up before you should,learning to adjust to a new life, and a lot more. I’m not gonna lie I was really hoping that Theatus (probably didn’t spell that right) and Tiger were gonna end up together even though I know it’s not a romance I wish they would have. Any way over all I’m gonna be rating this book 3.5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.✨

Hope this helped 🖤
