 ‘Finding Faith’ was such a delightful story, full of romance with a mystery woven throughout. It is mostly set in Arizona, and we get descriptions of some beautiful landscapes. We meet Faith right after a break-up, dealing with some very relatable feelings, and get to follow her journey to discover more about herself and her past. The book also contains a few deaths, mostly off page, which led to some really positive representations of loss and grief. 

 

I was taken out of the story a little few things, mainly multiple names for a person or place and the logistics around Faith’s housing and employment, but most of that is cleared up by the end of the story. I do also wish we spent a little more time with Terese, so we see how they were close enough that she was willing to do so much to help Faith. 

 

I appreciate the shorter chapter length. That, paired with the POV only switching twice instead of frequently from chapter to chapter, made this a really smooth read. It’s compelling enough that I ended up reading most of it in one sitting- I didn’t want to put it down until I knew the truth about Faith and Michael. This was an overall enjoyable read.
