Under mounting pressure from the community, their families are desperate to bring them back into the fold. Isaac and David struggled in the outside world, and there’s comfort in reuniting with parents and siblings they love—even as they yearn for a future together.

Post’s Author Opinion:
Note: This is a personal opinion, it does not reflect YaoiOtaku’s official position towards the novel.
My wish came true and in the third and final book of this series I got both Isaac and David’s point of views. Having it any differently would have felt wrong and incomplete. Despite this, I liked this book the least of all three.
Again I liked the writing, but I felt like everything went too expectedly, and in the smoothest way possible. Of course I like Isaac and David a lot and I want them to be happy, but, I don’t know, it was plain, mostly the first half of the book. I don’t know how, but so far Keira Andrews managed to almost lose me in the first half of the books, and then pull me in completely in the second half. I can’t put my finger on it, but I think the book being divided in ‘part one’ and ‘part two’ had something to do with it. The division wasn’t justified, but it worked wonders.
I expected something else from A Way Home, a different kind of journey. I just wanted a bit more and as a result I can’t write a proper review about the book. I liked everyone, they were just as great. I liked Isaac and David finding their way together, I liked Aaron and Jen going along, I liked the accepting, loving characters strewn along (June and Anna were great), but that’s about it. A Way Home is a perfect way (ha!) of spending a sunny afternoon, it is a lovely read that’s going to leave you feeling content, but I just wanted a little bit of something else. (It’s not the book, it’s me, I love angst and worry and storm in books.)
