Her and her mom have always been a team, but suddenly Tiger starts to wonder if their well-oiled machine is really so well-oiled after all. Because, come to think of it, her mom needs to control everything. The songs on the radio. The truth about the dad she’s never met. Whether or not she goes to school dances. She can never just be on her own. And this doesn’t even cover the rest of the sixteen million nerve-wracking, day-killing OTHER things she’s got going on. Lupe Hidalgo at school for instance, who’s only mission in life seems to be making hers a living hell. Band practice with Broken Cradle. The fact that dreamy Kai from Bio is moving to Deutschland for the whole. summer. But then something terrible happens. And Tiger realises that being on her own isn’t something she really wants. Not at all. And so begins her quest. To find her dad. To find herself. And a whole heap of others along the way.

"This was both a tragic and heartbreaking story of a daughter losing her mother to an all too sudden aneurysm. Sadness and anger was all I felt while reading this book. I had to get used to the writing style a little but other than that, the story was beautiful ⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Main Character lost a family member. It's about her Grief and suffering throughout it. Her depression "

"I read this book, and I absolutely loved it. I can’t wait to read the third in the series. Although it’s super sad, both Girl In Pieces and this book, have helped me a lot. Some pages that I relate to made me want to throw up. “Little Debbie’s for dinner,” I don’t remember the page number but that page made we want to throw up. I can never eat Little Debbie’s and not feel terrible, I’ve had to eat little Debbie’s for dinner and it was miserable."

"This book is OUTSTANDING! I can't say I know much about how loss feels, but this book allows us to step into the main character's shoes and we really feel something. We grow a deep connection with the characters along the way, and it's amazing. Though, I do have to say towards the end I got a bit confused, but other than that 4.5/5 stars."
