Before We Were Strangers by Renée Carlino
5.0
This was 5 stars for me with I rarely give. I loved these main characters so much and was so invested in them, what happened to them, what would become of them. There were twists that I only loosely suspected and it pulled at me emotionally in ways I really didn’t expect. I was in it for a fun little breezy read after a reading dud and this book over delivered. Readers should know there are 3-4 explicit scenes. Normally this many in a short book takes my star reviews down because it feels like the author is relying on racy scenes to carry the plot. I did not feel this way in this book and just skipped over them because that’s my preference. There was some adult language but I didn’t find it overkill aside from one very obnoxious and largely unlikeable side character.
