I just finished this one finally, and really enjoyed it. I always like Jewell's books, but this one was more suspenseful than usual!

I really enjoyed this book! This is my third Lisa Jewell book. I fell in love with her books when I read The Third Wife, stayed in love after The Girls in the Garden and still in after I Found You.

I found the book to be on par with The Missing Girls, The Girl from the Sea and The Widow. I’m not sure if the author’s intention was for this book to be a psychological thriller but that was my take-away with both The Third Wife and I Found You. And since psychological thrillers continue to be my favorite genre right now, this book a perfect fit for me!

Alice, a single mother with 3 children from 3 different men stumbles across a man on the beach while walking her dogs. The man has lost his memory and is afraid to go to the police; Alice takes him in and one of her children names him “Frank”.

Alice and Frank get to know each other and uncover not just Franks’ memory but solve a decades old mystery.

The entire book spans just the course of a week or two but there is so much there that it feels like it takes place over the course of weeks. The book also goes back in time to when Frank was younger and suffered a great tragedy.

Of course, I can’t say much more without giving away too much!

I loved the book! Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for providing me with an ARC of this book!

The author took a difficult plot and weaved the individual stories together seamlessly for a memorable, suspenseful story from start to finish. The characters were unique and vivid. Will be recommending.

Incredibly slow-moving and rife with oddball characters, I FOUND YOU explores what can happen when rash decisions are made in the name of love.

Lisa Jewell’s strength definitely lies in her ability to deliver character-driven novels. This story, along with the few others of hers I’ve read, rely heavily on the development of her characters and in turn, as a reader, my enjoyment hinges almost solely on whether I connect with them and find their actions believable in some capacity. I have to admit there was a HUGE part of me that felt completely disconnected from this story and what I’m deeming a strange cast of characters.

There's a common thread running through each and every one of these oddballs . . . desperation and the need to be loved. What else could make Alice, a single mother of three, who happens to have a rash of bad relationships under her belt already and is by all accounts a complete and utter mess, drag a man she finds on the beach, with no memory of who he even is, into her life? Does it get any worse than considering the ‘L-word’ after only five days? Insta-love, anyone? That need for attention, led to some really questionable decisions and actions . . . and not just by Alice. Don’t even get me started on Lily or Gray. There were so many things that just felt off, even for this strange bunch. How many fugue states can one person really experience?

LISA JEWELL attempts to mask the truth for as long as possible and keep the reader on their toes in anticipation of the ‘big reveal’ by flip-flopping between the present and one fateful summer back in 1993. There’s a reason the man with no memories, dubbed ‘Frank’ by Alice and her kids, landed on this stretch of beach along the Yorkshire coast, but don’t hold your breath. What happened, in both the past and the present, is a little out there and a tad lackluster, considering it was fueled strictly by illogical decisions and here I go with this word again . . . desperation. I just wasn't convinced any rational person would've landed in any of their situations. Here's the PSA for the day . . . call the police!

This definitely wasn’t my favorite Lisa Jewell by any stretch of the imagination. While I can see the appeal to some readers, the suspense of it all was a little flat for my tastes. If you want to experience her true writing prowess, I suggest checking out my favorite, The Girls in the Garden.

I absolutely loved this book!
A man on a beach with no memory of who he is or where he came from. A woman with three children and three dogs. A very young bride who's husband has gone missing. A horrific story from the past. How does it all tie together?
I loved the characters in this novel, Alice was someone I wanted to be friends with. She is far from perfect and often refers to herself as an idiot but she is a woman with a lot of heart. Frank (the name that Alice's daughter gives him) is so lost, his memory gone and no where to turn. Lily is young and sometimes silly but I did grow to like her. The mystery and intrigue kept me turning pages, who is Frank? What does he have to do with a story from 1993? Who is Lily's husband? I couldn't have asked for a better plot than this one.
I love this author's writing style, lots of dialogue and a lot of beautiful descriptions of the setting. She creates characters that are believable and interesting. I recently read another of her novels and very much enjoyed that one also. I would definitely recommend this novel to others. It's got bit of everything; mystery, family, humour and romance. As I said, I loved it...

I might have had too high hopes for this book when I went into it. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The characters' motivations were nonsensical at times, and I simply didn't like Lily's character at all. Sadly, I also figured out what was going on pretty early, which meant there was no shocking revelation in the end. This was my first Lisa Jewell, and I'd been hoping for a book similar to Claire Mackintosh's "I Let You Go," but I may have to give one of Jewell's other books a try as this wasn't it.

Great read. Keeps you guessing. Will definitely keep an eye out for more from this author.

Captivating book that begins with three separate, uneasy mysteries that the reader assumes will somehow resolve together, in some unknown fashion. It is that unknown resolution, as well as the uneasiness of the independent mysteries, that compel readers forward. It just becomes impossible to put the book down. At any given moment, one or another of the mysteries seems just about to rise in importance and solution and then it settles back into a mix of unreliable narrator or just confusion. All of this makes for a good book and one well-worth reading.

I enjoyed this book about a woman who finds a distressed man suffering from amnesia and decides to try and help him recover his memories. A parallel story about a young newly married immigrant whose husband is missing is also compelling.

I have read "The House We Grew Up In" by Jewell and enjoyed it, but this was on a different level. I really, really liked this one. I will say this, though... the first 40% of the book was slow. Slow to the point of me almost abandoning for something else. But then it got rolling and I couldn't stop. It's definitely worth sticking out the first part for! A very unique story that kept me on the edge of my seat.

Completely captivating and essentially entralling! This book kept me in suspense and hungering for more until the very end. Lisa Jewell is a genius!

Don't you just love a thriller that is so good you miss lunch, shorten your gym session, read late into the night and just plain leaves you breathless? Don't you love a thriller that makes you want to finish it in one sitting, but at the same time you want it never to end? Well, then this book is for you! The suspense builds as each chapter ends and the story just gets better and better. It is both a thriller and a mystery filled with betrayal, revenge, and love. I will say nothing about the plot to spoil the story but it is amazing!

An engrossing, entertaining read. What do a newlywed with a missing husband, a single mom and a man with no memory have in common? You get hooked immediately, but the ending becomes pretty obvious very early on, but it's still a fun read. Some aspects of the story seem a bit far-fetched (seriously: if a guy in a fugue state shows up, the first thing you should do is take him to a hospital) and melodramatic, but I still devoured this book like candy. Highly recommend to anyone who likes romance with a little bit of mystery thrown in. And British people.

i never read the book. Maybe I will read it at another time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The book had some twists and turns that kept me from putting this book down. A clever thriller that is worth reading!

I Found You is set on the Yorkshire coast, the rugged beauty and wind swept beaches makes me want to visit even more now, Lisa Jewell's writing just makes everything more vivid and real.
There are two main threads running parallel, one is the story of Alice, a single mother, an artist, with a house filled with the colourful choas that 3 children and 3 dogs bring, which is disrupted by the appearance of a man she meets on the beach, a man who has no memory of who he is, or how he got to be on the beach.
Lilly is a newly wed, with a husband who adores her, she is adjusting to life in a new country, when her life is thrown into turmoil, one morning her husband goes to work only to not return home again.
Then we go back to 1993 and to a family who are on holiday in Yorkshire,, staying in the same house that Alice now lives in.
I actually liked the slow build up, the two storylines running smoothly together as we learn about the past and it's impact on present day event's, though it still keeps you in the dark , then the tension really kicks in and will keep you second guessing as the storylines connect.The characters are realistic, some I felt real empathy for, the style of writing kept me wanting to find out the truth, beautifully written, there is sadness, some darkness, though the ending works well, and now I want to read more of Lisa Jewell's books!!.

The publishers put the thought into my head of comparing this book to GIRL ON THE TRAIN from the beginning. Even though their response was a resounding NO, the seed had been sown. I found the book a little hard to get into, but was captured by the end of the part one. The book has a very English feel and I believe compares to the writing of Daphne du Maurier in that sense.

While I preferred The Girls in the Garden, I Found You was a page turner. Though some of the events in the story didn't feel authentic to me, the book kept my attention and I enjoyed it.

Amazing book! I thought I had it all figured out , but boy was I wrong-- read this!!!

Many novels (especially "thrillers") use dual narrators and the story is told from both points of view, usually in alternating chapters. I Found You has three narrators-two in the present day, one from 1993, and the plot is a maze of interconnecting characters and places. Almost every chapter ends with a cliffhanger, and the challenge is to stop yourself from rushing ahead two chapters to find the outcome. I Found You is a giant puzzle-some pieces are easy to put together, while others only fit at the end. Lisa Jewell is a master of suspense, and she hits a homerun with I Found You. The pace is swift and the tension is palpable. Some of the characters tend toward the cliched-especially Kitty-the widowed loner living in a mansion at the top of a hill-and others need a swift kick in the butt (who brings a total stranger into a house with three young children?) but neither of these distract from the story. The ending of I Found You could have gone several ways, and it feels as though Ms. Jewell settled on the easiest option, but the nonstop action and compelling story make up for a somewhat flat ending.
