4.0

This is a young adult book about the effects of addiction on a family. It is multi layered and complex. It was very well written and the characters were well developed. The narration was excellent. I think it would be an excellent book for a young adult or an adult book club because it raises so many excellent questions. I highly recommend it.

Kathleen Glasgow was an author I felt iffy about because after reading “Girl in Pieces” I was left feeling disappointed. I’ve been eyeing “you’d be home now” because I enjoy an emotional hopeful book and I’m glad I picked it up. Respectfully I thought “Girl in pieces” was a whole lot of nothing. “You’d be home now” was the opposite. It made me want to keep reading. Wondering what’s next? Made me grip my blankets, anticipating the next move. I enjoyed it.

This book helped me understand what grief that i had looked like and gave me a lot if quotes that touch on grief to help me through the process. I loved this book my only big complaint is it took me a few chapters to understand what POV i was reading from. Im glad the author didn't have Emory get back with gage after he did what he did. Why this book isn't a five star for me is because i feel like it was missing something.
