It was a little bit of a struggle to read, but the ending was funny/cute. Sloan hand-fed everything so nothing was thought-provoking or puzzling.

It‘s a cute book for grade-schoolers, but for someone who likes depth it‘s lacking.

Emily and Sam meet at a church. Emily believes that people meet for a reason. She shares a great antidote involving a window and mattress that I won't spoil. Sam has been on the run with his brother and crazy dad for a decade. They were definitely destined.
SO GOOD! Family, friendships, adventure, survival...gritty and hopeful. This is an ARC I borrowed from a friend but the book has been out for years! Read it!
