Complimentary copy provided by author for an honest review.I was given an ARC of Coming Home for my honest review, and this was one of the best stories I've read this year. It was different and heartbreaking, heartwarming, and true.This is Aine's debut novel, and while reading it, I thought, how is this her first book?We meet Sam and Ben in Coming Home, both are broken from past relationships but in different ways. They have only spoken on the phone (Sam's best friend is Ben's sister Jenny), but fate intervenes and they meet, the attraction on the phone is stronger in person, but can they move on, or stay in the past?This story is a roller-coaster of emotions for the characters, and for you, the reader. I absolutely loved it! One of the things that was different in this story compared to others was you get external and internal dialogue from these characters, instead of trying to figure out what they are thinking when they are talking, you know, and I loved it. I also loved how it is told in both of their POV's, even though sometimes you want to strangle them for what they do or are thinking, you understand.Ben and Sam's story is amazing, I loved it, and cried with it, and now have a serious book hangover because of this. The way this story ended was amazing, and had me in tears. Not the ugly cry tears, but the good crying.I encourage all of you to pick this one up when it releases, its a must read in my opinion. Props to Aine for such an amazing debut novel, I hope you all love it as much as I did.
