#BookReview: Hope for the Best by Vanessa Lafleur

Synopsis: Seventeen-year-old Lareina has no family, no home, and no last name. What she does have is an oddly shaped pendant and Detective Russ Galloway who would follow her across the country to take it from her.

Through her own resilience and wit, Lareina has survived her teenage years in a chaotic and crumbling world by stealing what she needs. Hoping to escape the detective and discover the truth about her pendant, Lareina flees the city.

On her journey she meets Nick and Aaron who remind her how much she has missed feeling a connection to other people. Together they learn survival is impossible unless they can learn to trust each other.

My Review: This one for me would have been better situated as a middle grade title. It was super slow and well kind of boring. The title really does scream what I was hoping to get out of this book.  I hoped for the best but it just didn't work out. For this one I could take it or leave it. And if you decide to check it out I hope the best for you.  And well you might want to try the library first.
