This was just so emotional and heartbreaking. I am still reeling from everything and that ending! So perfect. Full review to come. 
 Review update: 
 This book was such a emotional roller coaster. It was so well written and powerful I fell victim to tears on more than one occasion. I was left speechless after finishing this and unable to properly do this book justice in review form. After taking time to think it over I'm going to try again. 
 John is a powerful character. He is tremendously flawed and knows it. He tries again and again to distance himself from those around him. Emotionally and physically. Burdened with immense guilt and shame for what happened to his older brother John is finding it impossible to fit back in with his own family after being gone for many years.Enter Emily. She is fiery and different from everything John has known. She carries her own set of problems and together they help each other overcome emotional obstacles. 
 As someone who has a special needs (higher functioning) sibling this book hit very close to home on emotions I would rather now look to closely at. Emotionally compelling, Homecoming is one of my top favorite 2016 books.
