What’s worse than a big little lie? An even bigger little truth…
Don’t be fooled by the sunshine-yellow cover – The Forever Home has far more hidden depths than I was expecting.
One of the biggest surprises for me was just how many heavy, and at times quite dark, themes Erica James explores. It wasn’t quite what I expected going into the book, but that certainly wasn’t a bad thing. If anything, it gave a fresh new spin on the Erica James we’ve come to know and love, and I really enjoyed seeing a different side to her storytelling.
Despite the darker themes, at its heart this is a story about love, hope, friendship and community. And the home at the centre of it all provides the perfect backdrop for secrets to be unravelled, the past to be explored and the future to be considered.
There’s something rather special about a story where a house becomes so much more than just a setting – it becomes a place where lives, histories and people come together. The Forever Home surprised me, challenged some of my expectations, and ultimately left me with plenty to think about.
