Dan’s survived a lot of sh*t storms. Her mother died. Her two sisters loathed her. One aunt hated her. The other was strangely distant, but the worst storm-being dumped by her childhood best friend/high school boyfriend/first love for her younger sister. There went the one person who was hers and with that, the main reason she stuck around. So, she left for ten years. But now she’s back, and nothing’s the same. With help from Jonah Bannon, a reformed-kind of-bad boy she remembers from high school, Dani uncovers family secrets that have spanned generations. And along with those, she’s about to face the biggest sh*t storm of her life. Only this time, she may not survive.
Lack of connections. I usually love Tijan books so I quickly bought it for when i discovered it. Sadly, this is not up to par with her usual standards. I enjoyed the main character by herself. Her love connection with Jonah was nonexistent. It seemed all the characters were just there to move Dani along rather than to had some extra entertainment to the book. She felt her sisters were terrible the whole book then she changes her mind because other people tell her she’s wrong. Dani gets screwed over by her family…
I was in a constant state of confusion for the random dialogue and flooding metaphors. Home Tears was about Dani searching for answers hoping to find herself. Dani left her small town hoping to find herself away from the small town secrets. Ten years passed and yet Dani still faced the same problems before she left.Â
Too much This story was extremely confusing and all over the place. I’ve read Tijan’s other books and they have been great. Not so much with this one. I personally did not enjoy it.
