HOMEFRONT
By: Kristen J. Tsetsi

Every once in a while I will start a book and never want it to end. It's very rare. I usually enjoy finishing a book so I can get started on a new one.
But with Kristen Tsetsi's 'Homefront', I wish it was a never ending serial novel, with new chapters appearing magically every day.
I was supposed to start this book weeks ago, but because of work and school assignments I had to put it off until a few days ago. I'm glad I did, though, because I was able to devote hours at a time to sit and soak up the story.
This is the story of Mia, Jake, Donny and a handful of other characters, but mostly of just Mia.
Jake is deployed and heads to war, leaving Mia at home, where she struggles financially, emotionally and mentally, and we are there to go through every feeling of fear, loneliness, confusion, hate, and exhaustion.
The true magic of 'Homefront' is in the writing. Kristen Tsetsi's style is very fresh. Classically poetic at times and at other times shockingly urban. This combintation mixes together to produce a delicious story of love, hate, wonder and a young woman finding herself.
The characters and scenery are so believable, reading 'Homefront' is almost like following the characters through real life.
'Homefront' gets a rich 5 out of 5.
