I found this read to be very thrilling and action-packed. I was worried it would be a lot of "filler" stuff to make the read longer, but I was pleasantly suprised to find each chapter riveting. I found myself wondering what would happen next in Nora and Patch's story when I was away working or someplace I wasn't able to continue reading. It was unbelievably hard to set this book down. I cannot wait for the next installment! I have already pre-ordered it and cannot wait for it to get here so I can see what happens next!

The entire series or "saga" is a magnificent piece of work. I found the story to be inspiring and it held a great many of life's lessons within it. I really enjoy when a fiction or fanrasy writers incorporate meaning and intertwine it throughout their books.

Absolutely awesome.

A Thrilling Read!
I found out about I Found You by Lisa Jewell in a magazine about upcoming books. When I read the synopsis, I knew I had to read it. It sounded really good! Luckily, it didn't disappoint.

The pacing was a little slow in places. However, it was still decently paced enough to hold my attention. The last quarter of the book was fast paced, but not in a bad way where I didn't know what was going on. For the last quarter of I Found You, I found myself fully immersed within the pages. I had to know what was going to happen next.

The world building is very believable. It's not something that happens every day, but I can still picture it happening. The plot of I Found You was very enjoyable. I don't think I've ever read anything like it. It was interesting to read about the past as well as the story from two different women's point of view. It was also very interesting to see how their worlds were about to collide. There are a couple of plot twists that I had been trying to figure out from the the beginning which I got wrong. All of my questions about the story were answered by the end of the book as well as any loose ends.

I thought the characters in I Found You were very well written and fleshed out perfectly. All of them felt very real. I would have liked to learn more about Alice's past, but she was still a well written character. I enjoyed reading about Frank as he tried to get his memory back, and it was very interesting going along for the ride with Lily as she tried to find her missing husband. I loved how protective Gray was of his sister Kirsty and how much he loved her. I hated Mark, but that was the point. Mark was written to be a horrible person.

Trigger warnings include drug use, underage and of age alcohol use, violence, swearing, sexual assault, death, and implied sex.

Overall, I Found You was an enjoyable read. The plot was very interesting, and the characters felt very real. The pacing was a bit slow sometimes, but it always held my attention. I would definitely recommend I Found You by Lisa Jewell to everyone aged 16+. It is a thrilling read for sure!

As I've been suicidal myself in the past, I thought I'd have been "triggered" by this. But I found it a enjoyable show with a protagonist I could identify with, thigh I admit I felt quite a bit jealous during "that" scene...

Out of the entire Shakespeare canon, I found this to be the most difficult to get through. The Tempest deals with huge themes, like slavery and freedom, heaven and hell, and purgatory. It's a masterpiece, but I had to read it 3 times.

I feel for Sylvia Plath I really do, and I understand that this story was her telling her own, but by the end I found it very monotonous which mean I did not enjoy the (lack of) plot, but it was written nicely.
