A review by emrache
Roam by C. H. Armstrong
3.0
The topic of teen homelessness is important, and this book had moments that were heart-wrenching and moving. The Lunde Family's experience demonstrates how easy it can be to slip from getting by to living out of a car.
From a story-telling perspective, though, I had a hard time getting past the shallow, physical descriptions of the characters. It felt like there could have been a little more showing and less telling. That being said, though, I probably wouldn't have noticed this if I were actually reading this book as a YA. And I'm sure that my YA self would have loved it.
Thanks to NetGalley for a free ARC.
