my thoughts in a few sentences: What do you do when your heart is squeezed so tightly it breaks for characters whom you grew to love? Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson comes with a warning label right off—Tinker Bell warns there is a love story, “but not like any you’ve ever heard.” Do you know what it’s like to read a story about two dear characters whose outcome surprises you in the most ripping ways? Do you know what kind of shredding power first love has when it finishes but never ends? Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson is as bleak as if tomorrow won’t come, and as hopeful, tearing, and true as anything in life you see. Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson rips out your heart and shows you just how fragile it is before carefully shutting it back inside.
