Faithful

I'm a sucker for Alice Hoffman's style of writing, and this plot was my catnip. Traumatized and tormented teen/young adult who moves to New York City and gradually heals herself with the help of several stray dogs and an unlikely best friend...yeah, I'm there. Throw in not one, not two, but three love interests and a mysterious guardian angel, along with a very hopeful ending and I'm a happy girl. Faithful may not have the historical sweep of Hoffman's most recent efforts including [b:The Museum of Extraordinary Things 18144053 The Museum of Extraordinary Things Alice Hoffman https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1392575125s/18144053.jpg 25491380] or [b:The Marriage of Opposites 23492741 The Marriage of Opposites Alice Hoffman https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1438581390s/23492741.jpg 43082583] but it was more intimate and, to me, more enjoyable.
