How to Make Friends with the Dark

Product Information

It's written mostly from the author's personal experience and I have so much respect and adoration for the author. Tiger's mother has always been her whole world, but now she's sixteen her mother's control over everything in her life is suffocating. From page one, Tiger Tolliver grabs your heart with her pain, her courage, her humor—and she doesn't let go. Glasgow's Schreibstil ist sehr intensiv und lässt ebenso intensiv mitfühlen und Augen feucht werden. A brilliant, honest, raw look at what it really means to lose someone essential and make grudging peace with what is gained in the exchange.

The story follows Tiger (who’s real name is Grace) who for all intents and purposes is your average teenage girl. I received a copy of this book to promote on Instagram, but I was interested in the book before the promotion and so I read it right away. The raw, gaping hole in her heart is all that remains and Tiger has to learn how to make friends with the dark.

just like in kathleen glasgow’s previous book, i loved the first half of it so much, while the rest was really lacking when comparing the both.

From there you're whisked away and shoved into the foster system, placed in the charge of a harsh caregiver who locks and inventories their food to a lovable hippy who is really doing the best they can with a girl ripped apart from the inside out, and finally placed under the care of a long lost sister barely older than Tiger.

She likewise struggles to resist his stormy gray eyes, dark hair, and rakish behavior, even as they’re pitted against each other in the Trials and by the king himself. We meet Tiger Tolliver at her most broken – at her darkest moment – and yet, somehow, How to Make Friends with the Dark teaches us how to let the light in. This book didn’t disappointment me and made me think about more things than just a young girl who loses her mother. throughout the book, she goes through a series of events she never would have gone through if not for her mother’s death, including foster care, and she must learn to make friends with the dark before it swallows her whole.

A rare and powerful novel, How to Make Friends with the Dark dives deep into the heart of grief and healing with honesty, empathy, and grace. Kathleen Glasgow is unflinching in the face of pain and we could all stand to learn how to make friends with the dark. She was very abrasive and I felt strange because I had to remind myself that I should feel bad for her. There were several times when Tiger just didn't address certain things that seemed like pretty pressing issues, which honestly contributed to my general dislike of her.

Ca morala să fie că sunt dureri care nu dispar niciodată și trebuie pur și simplu să înveți să trăiești în ciuda lor. Fans of One of Us Is Lying and Riverdale won't want to miss this YA thriller by international bestseller Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson. Overall, I thought it was fine, even really good at times, but because of the writing, I just really couldn't get into it. How to Make Friends with the Dark is a gorgeously nuanced meditation on grief and family, and the incredible love that can pull you through the darkest of times. If you think you’re in for an unremittingly grim read, you’re not totally wrong, but there is some light in the darkness.
