Although Foster by Claire Keegan had a nice style, it felt WAY too short for me. I couldn't get attached to the characters, and everything seemed rushed. Moments like the wake and the well felt glossed over, and the ending didn't hit as hard as I'd hoped. I ended up feeling disappointed, wanting more time to connect with the story and its people. Still, there's a gentle warmth here for fans of quiet, reflective tales. I just wish it had been given more time to shine. In the end, it left me wanting much more depth behind it.
