I was given an ARC copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.Running home is about two best friends in a small town.  Carmen is a lost bad girl looking to getting out of town and move to Hollywood. Her saving grace while stuck in South Dakota is Walker the town hero and football star. Carmen leaves the day of their high school graduation and breaks Walker’s heart. The next seven years is a hard time for Carmen and a life changing event sends her running home and back to Walker. While this plot and storyline has been done A LOT in many books, T.A does this common storyline in a very refreshing and different way and makes it unique. Running home was not like any other books I have read with similar plots. While reading this book I loved Carmen and hated her; she broke my heart and mended it back together. So many emotions were present in this book and I felt them along with the main characters. Walker, well he is an amazing sweetheart and I want a Walker in my life. ONE WORD AND THAT IS WAYLON!!! I am jealous that I will never have a Waylon and his love. I enjoyed this book, it took me about 4 hours to read and was well written with decent editing. I was hooked by the end of the first chapter and didn’t want to put it down. A small thing that T.A did different in this book was get rid of the chapter headings and used songs instead. I love this idea, I knew the tone of what I was about to read by the song choice. I look forward from more books by T.A Hardenbrook and I will be buying and enjoying her next book Hot Southern Mess.
