Interesting Plot
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!

Sick
If you like a little camp, a little porn, and a lot of horror you have to see this movie grindhouse cult film. Dyanne Thorne is incredible but the premise of the movie is a laugh. I am glad i found this on a free movie streaming site. I would have not paid to see this.
If you choose to watch this I recommendation is to have a few drinks and then watch. I would skip this movie.

Slow burner
I read a lot of great reviews about this, but I found it as a very slow burner and I didn't always quite understand what was going on. I felt like I was missing something, the film was certainly missing something. I guess you could say there was an air of unease but that's it.

Tear jerker
The movie over all was enjoyable in that " oh my gosh, people suck" kind of way. The whole movie I was just enraptured, the only thing that I found confusing at all was the time line. The movie is constantly switching the time line on you through out the entire movie and I found that to be confusing at times. I loved it, other than the fact I couldn't sleep because I was worried someone was going to kidnap my imaginary child"
