Tiffany Sly Lives Here Now by Dana L. Davis
5.0
Love. I love everything about this book.
The fact that Tiffany is from Chicago! (Just like me!)
How real and raw of a character she is and how it shows through her conversations with not only herself but the other characters.
Speaking of conversations, I love the dialogue between all characters. I don't know what it is, but it connects with me.
I love Tiffany. She's me in SOME ways, (I believe in GOD, she's an atheist), but other than that and the fact that she has OCD and Anxiety, I relate to her personality the most. I haven't connected with a character like that in a while. She's authentically herself and you can't take that away from her. Her friendship with Marcus is so precious. I adore. From that friendship alone, I want another book! Just them with their respective families going about their lifes journies.
When I picked up this book, I didn't know what to expect. I thought from the summary it would be decent but it's so much more than that. It hooked me the moment Tiffany and Anthony had a disagreement about her braids which I understand because I love braids and they are literally an extension of myself. Every since that moment, I couldn't put the book down. A part of me wanted Xavier to be her dad but, I knew it was Anthony all along. What I also love about Tiff is that she's not afraid to speak her mind and tell people about themselves. Like... Urgh. I love this girl. In the end, Tiffany comes to terms with the fact that we all gonna die one day. It's just best to live your live like it's literally your last because no one will ever know when our time is up. I think with time, Anthony will become a better dad, it's just that he needs to listen and pay attention and be there. A lesson all parents learn eventually. So many funny moments. Lol! All in all, great book! This is def getting added to my personal library! Dana did it with this one!
My fav characters are
Naveah - She talks alot but I love her so much!
Jo - Marcus's mom. She's so chill and loving. She's defiintely a third mom to Tiffany. (After Margaret).
Marcus - His calming, kind, and accepting spirit. I want to read his book! Lol. He's weirdly awesome and that's that, on that.
