Review: Roam
Roam by C.H. Armstrong
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Abby Lunde is a 17 year old girl who becomes homeless after her parents problems, nothing dramatic, just the loss of a job and other relatable issues.
Abby starts a new school and tries her best to fit in and doesn’t want anyone to know that she and her family are living in their car.
The book shows the reality of being homeless, the support, such as it is, for people who find themselves in such awful circumstances. The fears that Abby feels, not only where her next meal is coming from, but of the stigma of being found out. While this does have a nice happy ending, it does touch a raw emotion, as in difficult economic times many people are just one missed payday from this situation. A very thoughtful, emotional read. Great writing.
I would like to thank the Author/the Publishers/NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review
