Review: Home Tears - Tijan
Review: Home Tears - Tijan - December 2016
One of the things that get me is by
being a big reader is that you get fussy with what you read and often find
yourself in slumps where everything you try is just not resonating with you.
When this happens, I tend to try and go back and read some of my oldie books
and certain authors that I know will always be able to pull me out of my
reading slumps. Tijan is one of those authors as her books always pack a
powerful punch and often contain that original feeling of the new adult genre
filled with angst before it got a saturated genre. Home Tears was originally
written as Home Torn and offered as a freebie, a few years later she decided to
rewrite and add more to it and that final product was Home Tears. In-Home
Tears, we meet Dani O'Hara who has come home for the first time in ten years.
When she left and during the years she broke a lot of hearts and Dani has
always seemed to leave a trail of destruction, not that she means to but it is
her curse - people die around her or get hurt. Being back in town means she has
to face a lot of demons from her ex-boyfriend Jake who dated her sister Erica
who died and Dani missed the funeral and now he dates her other sister Julia.
Julia and Dani are complete opposites and have never seen eye to eye and it
shows in this book. Dani has been running for too long and now she is about to
rip a storm through the remaining O'Haras as she uncovers a whole truckload of
hidden secrets and lies. Dani also does get her own romance story with the town's
resident bad boy turned good guy Jonah Baron as he helps her to slowly break
down her walls. Home Tears is a very angsty read and if you don't mind
dysfunctional family drama, then this is the read for you. I think in
some ways it is better that I haven't read Home Torn as I got to go into this
book with fresh eyes as I think if I had, I probably would be trying to compare
the storylines together. So overall, I think this is a case of reading one or
the other but not both as you will get more enjoyment out of it.
