After a hard start in life, Lori is already struggling to find her feet in the world. Then, a devastating tragedy sends her hurtling back to square one. Consumed by her anxiety and feeling alone, Lori finds herself bound to her house, unable to face the world.

But she's not alone in her pain. Living under the same roof as her estranged Aunt, her grieving mother and two sisters with growing pains only adds to her troubles. All five of them have lost the person most dear to them - and now they must learn to live a new life without her.

My Review:

Homebound tells the story of how one family copes with the loss and grief of a very dear family member and explores how they continue their lives after everything is turned upside down.

Lori and her two sisters navigate the loss of their mother while their mom grapples with losing the love of her life, her wife. They each handle the loss in different ways. Lori is afraid to leave the house, while her mom prefers to isolate herself in her bedroom.

Homebound is a narrative that will tug at your heartstrings and bring you to tears on numerous occasions. It had me in turmoil, unsure if I could continue reading as my heart broke for each character. Yet, it constantly drew me back in. Homebound is an intensely gripping read that kept me hanging on every word and page.

I've loved every single one of Hayley Anderton’s books that I've read. My favorite genre is apocalyptic/zombie stories, but sometimes I crave something a little different to mix things up.

I highly recommend Lori’s story, Homebound! Grab a copy of Homebound today!
