I Found You is a compelling novel with interesting characters, and is very easy to get lost in. Each perspective and timeline is intriguing in its own way and the pieces assemble quite nicely to reveal the big picture. If you enjoy mystery and character driven novels, this is a great choice. I wouldn’t go into it expecting a fast-paced thriller with lots of twists and turns because it could be end up being disappointing. Overall, a well-written and page-turning novel that is definitely worth a read.
