I loved this book from beginning to end! I seen the film before reading this but the book definitely didn’t disappoint, I couldn’t put it down.
Rush Home Road by Lori Lansens

Another great read By Lori. I read this as a young adult and again as a Mother and its even more emotive. It’s hard reading about Sharla’s neglected upbringing but its so worth it to learn about Addy’s life. The unforeseen relationship between the young and old is beautifully written here. One of my favourite reads.

Not one of my favourites by Lori but still a decent enough read. I didn’t feel as connected to the character and story as much as her other books.

This is such a hard read but lovely to know more about James as a baby and his personality. My heart is broken for his family. R.I.P James, always in our thoughts.
