The Necessary Stranger - Lumi's Curiosities Jenny Kalahar

What could possibly go right? In this fourth book in the Lumi's Curiosities series, Lumi's former best friend from high school, Calvin, is still pining for her. Cal's grumpy and lonely, and living in his childhood home on his own after many years serving in Afghanistan and then taking care of his dying father in Indiana. He needs to fix up his house to get it ready to sell so he can move on and finally start a life, but he's stuck-emotionally and financially. Brittina, upbeat and decidedly not grumpy, wants to leave her unsafe apartment. Her goal is to live in a house on her own, but she feels clueless about even simple home repairs and maintenance. Can these two opposites live together, trading lessons in home maintenance for lessons in fun? What happened in high school that is still tormenting Cal, making him avoid all that Britt could offer? Lumi and Nolan Sanders, owners of Lumi's Curiosities antique shop, buy a large group of old letters and photos, including two letters and one amazing photograph that very well might prove that the FBI did not kill John Dillinger in 1934. Did he actually live in hiding for many years after he was supposedly buried in an Indiana cemetery? With a fun, intriguing romance between two opposites, The Necessary Stranger is a sweet and sexy, heartwarming friends-to-lovers contemporary novel you'll love to devour.
