This book was so good we’re going to give your two perspectives. Today, my daughter is writing the review. Come back later for my review and a giveaway.
Here’s my daughter’s review:
AMAZING. It’s very well-written. Jenny takes you to Ireland with the main character Finley Sinclair. Finley heads to Ireland for a foreign exchange program, but she’s really there to find peace. Her dead brother spent his senior year in Ireland and she wants to recreate his experience and find his peace.
On the way, she ends up seated next to Beckett Rush, THE heart throb of vampire movies. She walks away, thinking she’ll never see him again, only to find he’s staying at the B&B her host family owns.
Finely is desperately trying to lose weight — about the only thing in her world she thinks she can control. Between a foster grandma who is dying, a cross she can’t find, and an audition that is bearing down on her, she needs something she can control. After reading this multi-layered book, I can’t wait to read more of Jenny’s YA titles. It’s AMAZING.
If you’ve read Jenny’s Save the Date, Finley is Alex Sinclair’s little sister. There You’ll Find Me is filled with such raw emotion and longing that I couldn’t put it down. Don’t let the YA categorization keep you from reading this book. Jenny takes these characters through issues that all of us can relate to: from the deep need to control our worlds to the search for a place it’s safe to be the true me, she shines a light on our deepest needs. Then she masterfully demonstrates how Christ is the answer to all of our needs and longings. This story does not wrap up neatly, because life is that way. However, at the end you are left with a sense that Finley will be okay, that she will come out the other side a much stronger person…one that God can use.
And the best part? CBD has the book on sale for $6.99. Christmas shopping, folks!
