Teardrop Shot Paperback – 24 Jun. 2019

The tears won’t stop, happy tears, sad tears, peed off at life tears... I’m so in awe of this book, and of Tijan- WOW!! TEARDROP SHOT is an ABSOLUTE MUST READ!!!I read this book on a whim, but mostly because a friend of mine is obsessed with Tijan, and I owed her one. If wasn’t already a fan, I’m now the official stalkery kind!! ( Although, reading Enemies already secured that).I feel like a manic- depressive (and I use that term loosely, I’m a mental health professional)- I went from extremes of laughing to crying, griping my heart to swooning and being so proud of a heroin’s courage to combusting into flames and oft times all at once... this book was touching on such an deep level especially for me. Reece is the kind of book boyfriend you’d want in real life... and, it sure helps he’s a hot-shot basketball superstar!!Teardrop Shot is deliriously off the charts a quirky unconventional funny but still hits ALL THE FEELS!!“It was like my heart was made of flower petals. Each one opened, beginning to collect, build, blossom. His last words were the last petal falling into place, completing the heart.”Charlie and Reece will hold a special place in my heart for years to come. This isn’t just a romance read, it’s something that will resonate with people- the story of the characters in this book has the power to change lives and that is truly beautiful and awe-inspiring.“He had kissed me like he was starving, then shoved inside like he was dehydrated. I loved it—“I’m writing this review with tears in my eyes, I commend anyone who writes anything dementia related in their stories but the focal point of this aspect of the story is what is most gripping. This story will crush you, make you LOLOL and question your sanity.“The correct usage of crazy aside, you are a complete ball of psychosis at times.”~ Reece, Teardrop Shot.I cannot recommend this enough.10/10 Awe-Inspiring Stars

A thoroughly enjoyable reading experience!🌟Charlie is a chaotic hilarious mess, trying to drag herself back to living. Her group of friends she ghosted on 8 years ago drag/welcome her back with open arms & hearts. Their Hearts are bruised but they can see she's not ready to talk! They're a wonderful & eclectic bunch - Ride of Die friends!💕 They're working at a Camp & offer Charlie her old job for 3 weeks - She takes the offer & has no idea what's in store for her!!🙈😄Reese is an NBA Star. His team summer training camp is being held in seclusion because of complications in his life. He's boiling with hurt & anger.😡💔 He makes a friend while he's there that pushes his darkness away but then camp is over!😔This book is full of light hearted moments but also has deep & painful ones for both main characters too. I didn't cry - I'm sure many did while reading it though. It's much longer than I thought it would be, thankfully. It had a couple of natural 'ending' places but this Author had a story to tell & she told it properly!🙏💕 So the relationship is messy and clumsy and painful until it isn't, in its own time!💘🔥 I loved Reese so much, his heart made me swoon!😍 Charlie is a wonderful mess throughout but she's trying - beautiful!!💔💝This is a fabulous read, I'm so glad I took the plunge 🌟🎉Debbie, 1970, UK

This is a sports romance in its most basic sense. It’s so much more than that. It’s about a woman coping with a partner suffering from early onset dementia and the fallout of that person no longer being in her life as once was.It’s a story about new beginnings and trust. And the fact that everyone has baggage in life- it just shows itself in different ways.The last 25% of this book is the strongest for him. It shows Tijan’s writing at its best.I adored her focus on issues not usually written about, her characters were beautifully flawed and relatable as they navigated a new relationship together. The storyline was different and gripping.Overall, Reese and Charlie’s story is well worth the read.

I discovered Tijan over the weekend. I think I’ve read all her books available on kindle unlimited and it’s Wednesday 😅The characters in all her books are so believable and feel so real, you can only laugh and cry with them! These guys are nothing short of lovable and you can only root for the women to overcome what is stopping them from living their best lives! That goes for every single book I’ve read!Love her style of writing and the spelling is spot on and grammar is correct! A complete pleasure to read her work!Thank you Tijan x

Truly the first couple of pages I didn't know if I would proceed. I am so glad I did. This book had everything a person who had become so lost it was heartbreaking, good friends, and such a special man Reece. Charlie was a strong character who thought she was weak, but she wasn't she was anything but, and her friends waited for her and didn't judge but the places in her head she had gone had convinced her otherwise. What can I say about Reece, not enough would have loved more from his perspective, but insaying that this book worked. It was tender in many ways and a sadness that held it together but above all there was so much love. This was more than a Sports Romance, it had layers which many of those books don't have. You know it's a good book when it stays with you and makes you think. Just loved the writing .
