I thoroughly enjoyed this book, albeit very sad and dark at times, I thought it was written and worded beautifully.

wth. I have NEVER read the author’s note or acknowledgements for a book, but I did for this one. This was so utterly heartbreaking and inspiring all at once, and tears were def present lol. I need to go recover now. This is such a deep and REAL story of addiction, heartache, and the lows of life. It’s not going to be fun or lighthearted, but it’s the cold hard truth to so many people’s lives and is SO eye opening. I’m shook 100/10 recommend

Literally one of my favourite books of all time now. What have I just read. That was an absolute soul crushing masterpiece.

Ok it’s now over two months since I’ve finished this book and it’s yet to leave my head. I haven’t stopped thinking or loving this book since I picked it up. I feel so much love and care for these characters and just want to cherish them. It was so raw and emotional and there is one scene towards the end of the book that I cannot stop thinking about . It was incredible. My favourite book of all time. It is indescribable how much I love this book. Read it right now!!!

Another update from a year and a month later - shocker, I still think about this book ALL THE TIME genuinely the most special and my fav of all time 💕

You’d be home now is relatable at times to teens. It also holds truth about when you first start dating as a teen.

such a strong, emotional book about addiction and how it can affect the family of the addict.

i did NOT expect Joey to pull that stunt with Luther when Emory brought the stuff from the safe. i was SHOCKED to say the least.
