I Found You by Lisa Jewell
5.0
This was our bookclub pick for the month and it was so good!!! Lisa Jewell is easily one of my favorite authors, especially for mystery/thrillers!
I Found You follows the story of Mark Tate, Kirsty & Graham (Gray) Ross who meet one another in the summer of 1993. Mark (19) falls in love with Kirsty (15) and when she doesn’t reciprocate, Mark snaps. After a traumatic experience, all 3 are lost, 2 presumed as dead and 1 that can’t remember the tragic events of one fatal night. Fast forward 23 years later, a man goes missing and another man is found with severe amnesia. Lily, married to Carl, is determined to find out where her missing husband went, dead or alive, and learns that Carl Montrose does not exist, so who is he? Alice welcomes John Doe (she & her kids nickname him “Frank”) into her home & helps him to remember who he is & where he’s from. Piece by piece “Frank” gets his memory back & crosses paths with Lily who’s on the hunt to find out who she’s really married to. Through his memories & Lily’s detecting, they locate Kitty who comes clean about the fatal night in 1993.
Though the book flips back and forth between the different character perspectives and the two timelines, this book is an easy and quick read! I never found myself getting lost or confused. I had my predictions & was right about most of them! I definitely enjoyed this book & recommend it to anyone looking for a good thriller!
