When You Trap a Tiger by Tae Keller

3.0

I enjoyed this book, but some things felt a little off to me. Ricky and his dad, Ricky’s response when friends were around, why make Ricky wealthy? If people called Halmoni a witch, Lily would have heard it right off, not so much later that it was a surprise. The mom was very cardboard feeling. I didn’t even get a deep feeling between Halmoni and Lily. I also felt that Sam’s relationship was kind of gratuitous.
