Image of reader review of Car Pool by Karin Kallmaker. Car Pool, like many of Kallmaker's books, presents readers with a sweet romance. But, she doesn't shy away from including real-world issues in her books. Those situations force her characters (and readers) to tackle difficult topics along the way to the HEA ending.

Karin Kallmaker's books are always worth reading again, just to see how you and the world have (or, sadly at times, haven't) changed.

Ruth F. Simon, reading Car Pool over 30 years
