elsavivi 's review for:

Tigers, Not Daughters by Samantha Mabry

5.0

---

Wow.....this books was hauntingly beautiful. The Torres's sisters relationship with each other are messy, genuine, beautiful and incredibly human. You can feel their pain and frustration through the pages. Their sorrow at having lost their older sister Ana, who seemed like the one who kept them together, the glue of the family. After her death it's almost like each sister sort of unravels... Jessica wants nothing more than to become Ana. Iridian looses herself within the pages of the books Ana used to read, while Rosa finds herself trying to find that "magic" Ana always said she had. Each individual sister finds the strength to pull through and the strength to be their for each other. They don't need a man to save the day for them...the saved themselves and it's what makes this story so beautiful and touching. Not sure if my review makes a lot of sense but just know that this book will stay with you long after you've read the last page.
