"'I want things to be okay,' I say softly. 'Are we going to be okay?'

 'I don't know.' Joey heaves his duffel bag over his shoulder. 'But maybe we can get somewhere close to it.'" 

"'I felt loved, but at the same time, I didn't care if I was loved.'" 

You'd be Home Now by Kathleen Glasgow was a beautiful portrayal of the struggles of young adults today. Drug addiction, slut shaming, feeling unseen and unheard...Glasgow made the reader painfully aware of the fact that this is what teenagers struggle with today. This novel will hit you like a semi, but it's worth it.

Well this book was so dang good! 
I couldn’t tell you how many times I cried over this book and I feel so bad for Emmy she’s never seen but Daniel sees her. What I’m really mad abt is how you don’t find out what happens after Joey goes to rehab but I also kinda like how it needed with the paper. I would definitely recommend this book. And read it again. So over all I’m rating this book 5 stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hope this helped🖤

It starts off a bit slow, but once it progresses it’s really difficult to stop reading.
