Many thanks to Bookishfirst, Netgalley, and librarything for providing me advance access to Almost Home by Valerie Fraser Luesse in return for my honest review.
I enjoyed Almost Home. It is a character-driven story, and the characters are charming and quirky in the very best of ways. They are facing significant struggles, but through friendship they thrive and flourish. This was a quick read for me, one I looked forward to coming back to each day. There were parts, however, that required suspension of reality. Additionally, although it is a story of substance, there were some overly sweet chapters, almost too good to be true.
So many books are dark and twisted. It was such a pleasure to read a story about good people, strangers in fact, that become family.
