Okay, so I just finished *Home Tears* and my emotions are ALL OVER THE PLACE. Tijan really said, 'Let me wreck this reader's heart and then maybe glue it back together.' Mission accomplished.

Dani’s story hit different. Girl ran from her messy past, ghosted her toxic family, and then BOOM—10 years later, she’s back in Craigstown like, 'Surprise, bet y’all thought I was dead.' The DRAMA. The SECRETS. The 'why is this small town acting like high school but with more whiskey?' vibes. I lived for it.

Jonah? SWOON. Town golden boy who’s like, 'Nah, I want the emotionally unavailable runaway.' Their chemistry was slow-burn but worth it—like waiting for your avocado toast to perfectly ripen. And Jake? Ugh, the guilt-ridden ex? DELICIOUSLY messy.

Also, can we talk about the twisty family secrets? Every chapter peeled back another layer of WTF. By the end, I was clutching my Kindle like, 'Dani, BABY, YOU DESERVE BETTER.' (Spoiler: She kinda gets it. *wipes tear*)

Final verdict: Not just a romance. It’s a 'grab-your-wine-and-tissues' saga about healing, chaos, and finding your way home. 10/10 would emotionally destabilize myself again.
