The Verdict
A fantastic read that will enthral you from the moment you turn the first page. I Found You is true escapism with believable characters that draw you in. Jewell paces three stories together to reveal twenty years’ worth of secrets and lies. This is a book you will devour in a few days.
There are a few scenes of disturbing violence and aggression but Jewell has woven these darker elements of the book in with a clear and structured plot. What you will really enjoy from this book is the deeply real characters and their own personal struggles throughout.
Favourite Quote
“She’d been acting the role of the scary woman for years because deep down inside she was scared. Scared of being alone. Scared that she’d had all her chances at happiness and blown each and every one.”
