“Cry Baby is brilliantly written. It's hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking and will leave you thinking about it for days afterward. Bravo, Ms. Scott. This boy-man stole my heart and I don't want it back.”- L.J. Shen, Bestselling Author



Blurb:

Tristan Lopez is loyal to his brothers. He doesn’t really have a choice, born into a gang that has a chokehold on every kid that roams its streets. He gave his life to them willingly, knowing if he did then one day this kingdom, led by boys drunk with power and ruled by fear, would all be his.

He was loyal through it all. Loyal when prison took his dad away. Loyal when his face was touched by the cold metal of the rival gang’s gun. Loyal even though his mom begged him to run the moment she returned home from rehab.

He thought about becoming someone else. It was hard not to crave the life of a regular 17-year-old. It’s the only reason he stayed in school—to pretend. But he always fell back in line.

Loyal.

Riley Rojas didn’t belong in Tristan’s real world. She should have only been part of the fantasy, one of the many faces he got to pretend with amidst rows of metal chairs and desks and whiteboards with assignments. But there she was, moving boxes from the back of an old pick-up into a house Tristan had shot up on a dare with his friends only a few months before.

Tall enough to look him in the eyes and strong enough to fill his shadow, Riley took up space on his streets, her loud mouth fearless in the face of the gang leaders who terrified everyone else. She pushed Tristan around on the hard court, and she balled better than his friends—better than him sometimes. She challenged him. She needed him. He liked it. And when her pale blue eyes stared into his, he quit wanting to pretend.

He couldn’t ask her to leave because she’d only dig her heels in deeper. He couldn’t ask because he didn’t want her to go. She was blurring his lines. She was testing his loyalty.

He was falling in love.

And it was going to tear him apart.

Julie's Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really wasn't sure what I was expecting when I read the synopsis.

I really liked Tristan, although he was caught up in gang life, you got the feeling that he didn't really fit in or like it.

Riley was a sweet girl, who found herself in a not so good area, where she moved to with her Dad. Her main interest was Basketball, and she was not letting anyone or anything get in the way of her dreams. I really admired her guts, her strength, and integrity.

When Riley met Tristan, he helped her to move boxes into her new home, and soon became friends although Tristan tried desperately to keep her at arm's length.

I liked their friends, they played important parts in their story, Paul and Lauren were good people, I thought Lauren had a slight tendency to be a mother hen. Paul was a good young man, but a bit of a loose cannon!

Tristan did a great job of keeping Gang Life away from Riley, but she understood more than what Tristan realised.

I liked that they got to experience First Love, along with other 'Firsts' and even though they both went through a tough ordeal, they really blossomed into respectable people for it.

I like that they found Love in such a dark world, and that love helped Tristan to conquer a lot of the bad stuff he had witnessed, and it helped him to make big choices.

They were great people, and I enjoyed watching them grow and become confident with their life choices.
