Home is where the sunflowers grow by Laetitia Aldin
3.0
"Is it weird to hope for something like this? That our past selves could be better than they actually were?" - Jack
"My home is where he is. I don’t need a place like this. He is my home. The sun in my gloomy life." - Prudence
In the start of this book Jack decided to hire people to help him because he wanted Prudence to be his sister and not his caregiver anymore (he has Steinert Disease). I understand that, but for her, it felt out of the blue and I think she deserved a good conversation about that, sooner. It felt disrespectful to me, but he did it with good intentions. He didn't think about how that "out of the blue decision" would feel for her. He wants his sister to find love, and eventually she finds that with her brother's best friend. And Jack also finds love in his sweet and caring boyfriend. This book isn't focused on the romance but more about a brother and sister and I really appreciate that.
It was clear from the start that Jack didn't know how long he has and even though the unknown is scary, he still makes fun memories and finds love. There are two love stories in this book: from Jack and Prudence and you follow both of them. There are people that abandoned Jack and Prudence but they always choose each other, and they have found their people, It's a close and loving group. Make sure to read the trigger warnings.
There was a lot going on in this book. Sometimes it felt messy and hard to follow because of it.
I received an ARC copy of this book by the author.
