I Found You by Lisa Jewell

litwithleigh's review against another edition

**I do not give audiobooks star ratings as I cannot analyze the prose**

Audiobook Rating: just ok | Performance: 3/5 | Plot: 2.5/5 | Ending: Classic Lisa Jewell

Why do I keep reading Lisa Jewell when I've never rated a book of hers higher than 3 stars? Great question. It's because my dumbass thrifted a ton of her books before reading any of them, and I'm determined to clean out my physical tbr, so I just gotta slog through it

This is my third book by Lisa Jewell and I really enjoyed it! I really like the way this one and The Family Upstairs is told. They have 3 perspectives and one is in a different timeline. We have to figure out how all 3 perspectives are connected. I always think I am going to guess the ending really early in the book and I never do. She always manages to surprise me, and she might become one of my favorite authors in 2021.

You can always count on Lisa Jewell for a quick, pacy and engaging thriller! Really liked the concept of this one, and the execution was great.

It’s a pretty fast psychological thriller to read through. The chapters are short as you would expect by reading other similar works by the author. 
I liked it more the further I got into it. I also liked the mysteriousness of “Frank” since he lost most of his memory. 
In the end there was also a totally different outcome than I was expecting, so that made me enjoy it more. It was one of my favorite Lisa Jewell books that I have read.
