Can’t Wait Wednesday – HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE DARK by Kathleen Glasgow
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. It is a meme that I have loved participating in for over a year now, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll just be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE DARK by Kathleen Glasgow. I was a big fan of Glasgow’s last novel Girl in Pieces, which was a very emotional read for me, so I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on her newest book, which based on that synopsis, promises to be an equally heart-wrenching story.

Here is what happens when your mother dies.
It’s the brightest day of summer and it’s dark outside. It’s dark in your house, dark in your room, and dark in your heart. You feel like the darkness is going to split you apart.
That’s how it feels for Tiger. It’s always been Tiger and her mother against the world. Then, on a day like any other, Tiger’s mother dies. And now it’s Tiger, alone.
Here is how you learn to make friends with the dark.

I’d love to hear what upcoming book releases you’re waiting on this Wednesday? Leave me your link in the comments below and I’ll stop by and check out your CWW selection for this week. 🙂
I’m in love with the title. I’m in love with the cover. And, I’m in love with the synopsis. Adding to my wishlist. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
You’re welcome!
This sounds like it will require tissues and wine.
I agree 100%!
This does sound heart wrenching! Not sure I could take it, but I hope you get a chance to read it😊
Thanks, I hope so too.
Oooh I like how this one sounds. Why does she have to make friends with the dark? Is it the dark recesses of her mind to get away from the trauma of losing her mother? Great pick and one I shall get.

I have a lot of the same questions and really want answers to them, lol.
Ooh bit of a chilling summary. It sounds good though, and I love the title.
I love the title and that cover.
This is new to me but I love the cover. I love a good emotional book!
Same here!
This is a great share, Suzanne. I definitely want to know Tiger’s story now. I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks, me too!
I love that synopsis. I imagine this will be another emotional read for you. I will have to give this one a try too! I hope you love it, Suzanne. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thanks, I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday.
Glasgow goes a little dark for my taste, but I have heard her stories are very powerful. I am intrigued, though, because I love grief and loss books.
Girl in Pieces was definitely pretty dark at times. I’m curious to see if this one is as dark.
This does sound very emotional!
Yes, her last book made me cry so I fully expect this one will as well.
Oh my gosh, my heart just broke reading this blurb. This is going to be heartbreaking 🙁 But I can see why you picked it this week.
Her last book made me sob so I fully expect this one will too, lol.
Ohhhhh I’m absolutely hanging for this one to be released as well! I was such a fan of her debut Girl in Pieces as well, so incredibly moving. This sounds as though it’ll explore grief and depression with a great deal of realism and compassion just enough to break us and hopefully mend us back together again. Wonderful choice this week Suzanne! ♡♡♡
Thanks Kelly! And yes, her first book really blew me away as well. Such a powerful story.
Well Suzanne this one caught my eyes on Netgalley so I am curious if you get to read it to know if the cover would match the story 😉
It’s such a gorgeous cover.
What a gorgeous cover! I hope the book is great, though it does sound pretty heart-wrenching!
I love that cover too. Just stunning.
