The Necessary Stranger
(2020)(The fourth book in the Lumi's Curiosities series)
A novel by Jenny Kalahar
Can opposites live together, trading lessons in home repair for lessons in how to have fun?
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 living on his own in his childhood home after many years serving in Afghanistan and then taking care of his dying father in Indiana. He wants to fix up the house and sell it so he can move on and finally start a new life, but he’s stuck—emotionally and financially.
Brittina is upbeat and decidedly not grumpy. She wants to leave her unsafe apartment and someday live in a home of her own, but she feels clueless about even simple repairs and maintenance. Is a swap with Cal the start she needs to an independent life, or will this hurt man ruin every last one of her plans?
Lumi and Nolan Sanders, owners of Lumi’s Curiosities antique shop, buy a large group of old paper items at auction, including two letters and one amazing photograph that may shake the FBI and historians to the core.
With a blossoming romance between opposites, The Necessary Stranger is a sweet, funny, and heartwarming friends-to-lovers contemporary novel.
