Home is about a small town sheriff named Natalie who's reunited with the one that got away, Sarah, when she moves back to the town she grew up in after her divorce. The town, Spruce Mountain, is the kind of close knit community you would find in a Hallmark or Lifetime movie. The chemistry between the two main characters was sweet, if a little insta-lovey, but I liked seeing how Natalie was so ready to accept Sarah and her young daughter. My biggest problem with this book was the dialogue in the first half. It read stilted and robotic, so it was hard for me to grow attached to the characters. After the climax of the story, it felt more natural, but the issues I had with the first half made it so I wasn't able to enjoy the rest of the story the way I would have wanted to.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book for review!
