ktcarlston 's review for:
When You Trap a Tiger
by Tae Keller
Legitimately, my friend Beth reviewed this book and it sums up ALLLLLLLL the feels.. The writing is magical but the plot has so many holes and I still have so many questions that I just finished the book saying "meh"- I'm giving it 3 stars for the writing but- meh. Read Beth's review below.
I’m still trying to figure out how to rate this book. It’s the 2021 Newberry! The writing is 5 stars. Like magic. So good. Completely in love with the writing. The story is great and the plot moves along. Major Moana and Crenshaw and vibes but it’s own thing completely. It’s funny, magical, goofy and completely heartbreaking. But then there are holes and questions that just leave me so frustrated as a reader. Some flat characters and things that just don’t make sense to me. And do I really love these realistic fantasy books? No.
