Manda's 4 Star ReviewCarmen and Walkers story is definitely not your typical small town boy meets girl love story. Carmen is a big fish in a little pond. She is eager to escape small town life for the lure of the Hollywood lights. Walker is happy in their small town and wants nothing more than to graduate, become a police officer,and have his best friend Carmen by his side. Big dreams and small towns don't mix and Carmen leaves her home and best friend behind to make a name for herself.I am a big fan of books that go outside the lines of traditional love stories. This book takes you on an emotional ride and gives you a glimpse into what happens when your big dreams don't go as planned.  I had a bit of trouble getting into the story and connecting with the characters in the beginning. As the story progressed I became more invested in the characters and where their story was taking them. Running Home is a real, raw and emotional story that will pull you in and keep you reading.  Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a book that is anything but typical.
