Forever Homes
From her other works, we already know Pusey to be a master storyteller along with an advocate for foster care and adoption and the often harsh truths that accompany them. This book is a combination of her extensive knowledge and her storytelling abilities. Forever Home is chock-full of surprises and so fast paced that I couldn’t put it down! Pusey does a masterful job of connecting the characters to our hearts. What a fantastic first YA novel from this author!

Good to the last word
The author tells this story beautifully. I love how the author was able to combine her knowledge of the foster care and adoption system with nail biting fiction. This story was engaging, exciting, and heartwarming. I couldn’t put it down until I soaked up the last word. I would suggest this to anyone who enjoys books that are exciting and uplifting.

I love reading YA books especially ones that have a lot of action and suspense like the Divergent and Hunger Games series and this book had both. The creativity in the story had me at “Forever Homes”staying up all night reading to the end. I hope their is a sequel to follow.
