Tigers, Not Daughters by Samantha Mabry
5.0
The men in the Torres sister's lives leave them wanting. A father who is consumed by grief, a boyfriend who is never satisfied and the neighborhood boys who are always watching. Ana was the one everyone loved and everyone wanted to be, but now she's dead and all they're left with is an empty hole. They attempt to fill it in different ways; Jessica by becoming her idol, Iridian by escaping into words, and Rosa by searching for magic. When strange things start happening to each of them in turn, they must first reconcile with each other in order to confront the truth: Ana Is Back.
Beautiful poetic writing tells a haunting story about the power of women and sisters. This book was pretty much perfect, and I couldn't put it down. It's all about the characters, and the reader gets to know the inner workings of each sister one by one.. the good, the bad and the very complicated. The story felt so real and it's written in a way that is both all-consuming and magical to read. I cannot recommend it enough.
