To a lesser extent, I had trouble believing some of Lily’s actions. She is supposed to be a brand new immigrant, only twenty-one and married to someone almost twice her age. While I did not think she had to be a shrinking violet (and was glad she wasn’t), her choices and decisions made me forget how young and new-to-the-country she was supposed to be. While Jewell has points of her character development that remind you of her age—her grocery store run for what is ultimately 90% junk food—overall, she was a bit too capable and old-sounding to be the almost child-bride she was supposed to be. This may also have been as a contrast to Alice, whose character was developed so well that it highlighted ways in which Lily wasn’t as much. Resolution Do you remember about the first time that you fell in love? Do you remember telling yourself that This is The One? Do you remember fate having other plans for you? Alice is strong, but I really question her abilities and judgment as a mother. She seems to let too many strangers around her kids, and it has caused problems in the past.I read a lot of crime, serial killer chillers, psychological thrillers and horror but I also branch out into women's fiction and things on the lighter side to break from the darkness and Lisa `Jewell never lets me down ever. A great book with an ending you may not be expecting. 5 stars from me. Surrey: Twenty-one-year-old Lily Monrose has only been married for three weeks. When her new husband fails to come home from work one night she is left stranded in a new country where she knows no one. Then the police tell her that her husband never existed. I Found You is an intriguing, clever and interesting mystery with secrets, lies and plenty of suspense that starts off a little slow and on the lighter side and then turns more darker as we learn more about the intriguing and likeable characters and their stories. It is well paced and well written with two stories told in the present day and are interwoven with a third story from the past.

In some ways this is a relief. Strange does not have to mean bad or even that one will always be lonely. Some strangers are dangerous, but not everyone is and some strangers are worth taking risks to welcome. Which leads to the title—if everyone is a stranger, then everyone is waiting to be found. Indeed, there are at least seven combinations of characters finding each other in an overlapping scheme that could each give impetus to the title here. I love that Jewell leaves who found whom ambiguous. Alice Alice Lake looks out the window of her coastal cottage and sees an unfamiliar man, sitting on the beach, just staring out at sea -- for hours -- in the pouring rain. She takes her three large dogs with her and goes to him, to see if he's okay. As it turns out, he doesn't know who he is, where he is, or how he got there. He doesn't even know his own name. Here's the thing -- I seriously struggle with thrillers where the forward movement of the plot relies heavily on the characters making not-very-smart, illogical decisions. Call it a pet peeve, if you will. But I kind of feel like it's an easy way out for authors to write characters who consistently make wrong choices and then use the wrong choices as the driving force of the plot. I've read many intelligent, tightly written thrillers. I know that a thrilling story with smart characters can be told.Jewell’s novel explores the space between going missing and being lost….how the plots intersect and finally collide is one of the great thrills of reading Jewell’s book. She ratchets up the tension masterfully, and her writing is lively.” — The New York Times
