Find Me by Romily Bernard
4.0
I really cannot say how much I loved this book. I have already tweeted that this book was probably my favorite debut of the year, and as of right now that still stands. I have never been this impressed with a story in a long time and to put that into perspective, I have read over 100 books so far this year, and this one blows all of those out of the water.
This is not your ordinary YA novel because our main character, Wick, is your normal teenager. She is a hacker, and she and her sister have been put into foster home when their father is suspected of being part of a criminal organization, one that Wick knows all too much about. It is only when a distant friend somics suicide that her worlds turns even more upside down. She find her diary with a note that says FIND ME. Wick knows that someone made her do what she did, all she had to do was find out.
And oh does she find out. I pride myself o figuring out the ends of mystery novels. I watch way too many episodes of Castle and Criminal Minds to not be. But honestly I thought I knew who the bad guys was BUT NO! Romaly had to go and turn everything on its head and make me question everything i just read. WELL DONE.
But seriously, besides the reveal at the end, what I loved most about this book was the sub plots that seemed to crop up everywhere! I am not saying there were a lot, but there were enough to makes this story incredible complex and engaging. Evey chapter revealed something else, which in turn revealed something else. It was like a stack of dominoes that was falling slowly but you knew everything would happen eventually.
I loved everything about this book. There was no part that I thought was underdeveloped or overdeveloped. Every character served a purpose and every scene lead to the ultimate end. I loved this book more than this review could ever express. It was amazing.
