The Boy Who Steals Houses - C.G. Drews
I'm so excited to be part of the Book Blitz for C.G. Drews' second book. This is one book that I read as soon as it arrived in the post, which is EXTREMELY rare for me! If you haven't yet read her first amazing book, A Thousand Perfect Notes, have a look at my review, and for anyone somehow unfamiliar with the author (aliens maybe???), check out her wonderful blog, it's one of my favourites!
Can two broken boys find their perfect home?
Sam is only fifteen but he and his autistic older brother, Avery, have been abandoned by every relative he's ever known. Now Sam's trying to build a new life for them. He survives by breaking into empty houses when their owners are away, until one day he's caught out when a family returns home. To his amazement this large, chaotic family takes him under their wing - each teenager assuming Sam is a friend of another sibling. Sam finds himself inextricably caught up in their life, and falling for the beautiful Moxie.
But Sam has a secret, and his past is about to catch up with him.
Sam survives by breaking into empty houses for somewhere to sleep at night. Though his brother is a couple of years older than him, he has constantly had to be the grown up and is always thinking about how he can protect Avery.
My heart broke over and over again for what Sam and Avery go through. I just wanted to bawl my eyes out by the end. I couldn't figure out how it could possibly end well, but the ending was absolutely perfect.
He's officially taken house burglary to the next level. Forget stealing a bed, a key, a home for the night. He's stealing families and their Sunday lunches.
Sam's love interest in the book is Moxie, and she absolutely loves caramel so I had to pair this book with a caramel cocktail. The Caramel Apple Martini from the Martini Diva is pretty simple to make but absolutely delicious. You can find the instructions here.
