I really enjoyed reading Home Field Advantage!
I think this was my first Dahlia Adler book and it certainly won't be my last.
From the very beginning of following the path of HFA from Adler's twitter, to seeing it come to life, and reading it, I knew I was gonna enjoy it. I just didn't know how much.
I loved reading in both Amber and Jack's perspectives, on how they both felt throughout the book; the pull between each other, the feelings about their sports, etc…
Despite HFA being a YA, this has hard hitting topics that pull at your heartstrings. I liked seeing the topics and how they were woven into HFA. The bubbly, fun, airy world view of Home Field Advantage is definitely one that everyone knows, but getting into these hard dynamics was a surprise. I felt like it was done well, the balance of light and "dark".
