I Found You by Lisa Jewell

From Goodreads:
A young bride, a lonely single mother, and an amnesiac man of dubious origin lie at the heart of New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell’s next suspenseful drama that will appeal to fans of Liane Moriarty and Paula Hawkins.

In a windswept British seaside town, single mom Alice Lake finds a man sitting on the beach outside her house. He has no name, no jacket, and no idea how he got there. Against her better judgment, she invites him inside.

Meanwhile, in a suburb of London, 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.

Twenty-three years earlier, Gray and Kirsty are teenagers on a summer holiday with their parents. Their annual trip to the quaint seaside town is passing by uneventfully, until an enigmatic young man starts paying extra attention to Kirsty. Something about him makes Gray uncomfortable—and it’s not just that he’s playing the role of protective older brother.

Two decades of secrets, a missing husband, and a man with no memory are at the heart of this brilliant new novel, filled with the “beautiful writing, believable characters, pacey narrative, and dark secrets” (London Daily Mail) that make Lisa Jewell so beloved by audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.

SO, this book is told by not one, not two but three POVs and you would thing that would confuse you, right?  But every time I was reading from one character point of view and I was dying to find out what was happening to the other one and then when I was reading that one again?  I wanted to find out what was happening to the other one that I had finished, it was like there was little cliffhangers every time you finished one character point of view which was so perfectly written.

The story starts with Alice, a single mom finding a man outside in the beach in the rain.  Unfortunately, Alice has a soft side and a more soft heart and she goes and decides to give a jacket to the man outside, the only problem is that the man has  no idea of who he is and how he got there.  Alice knows she shouldn't do it, but she takes him inside her house and tries to help him out.  She gives him the outside shed and from there they try to find a way for him to recuperate his memory, but things are a little more complicated than it seems and as the days go by and he stills has no memory Alice and him finally decide that it's time for him to go to the police but when that day comes?

Meanwhile on that same day that Alice finds the lost memory man, Lilly is a newly wed, newly to the country and her new husband never makes it come that night.  The next day she calls the police and tells them that it's unusual for her husband to not come home, the police is not surprise because he is a grown man and many things can plan a part for him to disappear, but Lilly pushes them and shows them the text he sent her an hour before he was suppose to come home so they promise her to look into.  From there she finds out that her husband's passport is a fake one and that the name that he goes by doesn't exist, then she realizes that she never met any of his family or friends.  She ends up getting a call from the only friend that he has and she ends up getting him to help her to find him.  From calling one phone number then find one address, Lilly ends up at the same place and same coffee shop and Alice and her no memory man, what happens? Well...

The third POV we get is from this guy from a summer twenty years ago and about him coming to vacation with his parents and sister and meeting this other guy and things getting totally out of control until...well you have to read the book and find out what all these three characters have in common and how one summer changed it all.

This book totally got me in the edge of my seat, I was dying to know what the heck happened and if Alice would end up with her mystery man or if he belonged with poor Lilly.  Ah, the questions kept accumulating but what I liked about this book is that you got all your answers at the end plus more.

4.5 out of 5 stars, totally recommend it.

XOXO,
