I was provided this book as an ARC through NetGalley by Harper Collins ahead of the publication date and this is my honest review:
Lose You To Find Me was a book I really enjoyed and that surprised me in many ways. This was the first book I read by Erik J. Brown and I'm sure to read his other books when time allows. His characters were complex and human with qualities and flaws which made me keep wanting to read to see how the story would develop. The relationships between them also felt real and fleshed out. When the first plot twist came I really did not expect it due to the book's cover so I had some conflicted feelings throught the middle of the book but the end made up for all of it. I was glad to see the one characrer I was rooting for the whole time, get his happy ending! If you are squeamish though reading through the end of this book might be a bit hard on you but, for me, that whole unexpected scene really made this book stand out.
Overall I did enjoy this story and would recommend it to other people! It has a good balance of everything and honestly, all the food in it sounded delicious (and as a poruguese the reference to portuguese cuisine trown in made me happy)!
PS: I was also provided this ARC in order to draw a Dust Cover for a Special Edition of this book produced and distrubuted by Dazzling Bookish Shop.
