A good read but I thought that it was not quite believable. Bec is a strong character but the whole story is too long and although it held my interest I kept wanting more from it.

Can a mother instinctively recognize her child? Rebecca faces many challenges as a new mother. She has to cope with the death of her husband before her baby is even born,. She moves in with her mother who will help with the baby, but her mother dies shortly after the baby is born. She begins to find doors unlocked, things moved out of place in her house and she feels like she’s being followed. Her biggest challenge is navigating through it all being blind after being diagnosed with a degenerative disease. She faints while at the park with her friends and when she wakes up after resting after her fall, she discovers that the baby in her nursery is not her son. No one believes her and she feels like she has to find her baby on her own.

This is a well written story that held my interest to the end. Having a main character who is blind is unique and the author does a very good job of describing how a blind person would navigate in a sighted world. I didn’t always like Rebecca. She often acted like she had a chip on her shoulder, needing to prove she could do everything herself and refused help when it would have made sense to accept the help offered.

The author introduced some creepy things happening to Rebecca early on that I didn’t feel were adequately explained - the things moved in the house, doors unlocked, being followed, etc.. This left me feeling like things were unfinished and wondering if we were supposed to assume they were the product of Rebecca’s sleep deprived imaginings or postpartum depression. A plot thread left unraveled for me.

Would I recommend this book? Absolutely! Ultimately even though I personally wasn’t completely satisfied, it’s a very good book!

This is an emotion-packed domestic drama with some definite aspects of a thriller. Rebecca (Bec) Gray has had some real challenges thrown at her. First, her husband died, so she is a widow. Then, she has a new infant to take care of. Her mother recently died and she has moved into the suburbs of Chicago to live in her mother’s former home. Finally, and not the least of her problems, Bec has a degenerative eye disease that is making her go blind. Bec is a talented musician and seems to be adjusting well to all of these changes in her life, having students come in for private lessons and making friends at a grief group. One of the friends she makes is Chrystal who is also a widow and has a young daughter named Savi and a nanny named Pam. The author did a wonderful job of setting the stage for me to be surprised when the conflict starts, which is when Bec discovers that her baby has been switched. Is Bec delusional or is Jackson really missing? Bec is faced with the difficult task of convincing the seeing world that her son has been taken. What a twisted and heart-wrenching story! I thought that Bec had enough problems already when Jackson suddenly disappeared, or did he? That was the question throughout the rest of the book and the author did a superb job of keeping my attention as I read to discover what was really going on in the tragic life of the main character. Fans of domestic drama and thrillers will enjoy this book, with tears, I think.

I wanted to like this story more than I did. The plot was good but for me, too many of the details were vague. A blind woman newly widowed who also lost her mother is rolling in grief, and loses so much sleep she can’t think straight. One day at the park while sitting with a group of women and babies in their strollers she faints, and upon waking up believes her baby was swapped in the interim. I found myself restless by the halfway point, and wanting to skim through to the end, but I kept reading. I didn’t care for any of the characters, and her “friends” didn’t seem very friendly; there was a lot of gossiping, bitchiness, and betrayal between them. I didn’t know whom to believe finally. Overall a good read, but I didn’t like the vagueness of some situations. Some of it seemed like overkill. If you like “chick lit” you will probably enjoy this.

I truly appreciated the author’s writing of Bec. I appreciated that Bec was a mother and friend who happened to be visually impaired, the fact that she is visually impaired does not define her.

This story opens up with great promise, completely pulled me in and gave me that eerie creepy feeling that you knew something bad was going to happen. The spooky things going on in Rebecca’s home were done well but unfortunately about half way thru the book the bottom falls out.
To many inconsistencies and unbelievable things started going on and the story lost a lot of credibility for me. I won’t give any spoilers, but I never understood when she referenced pulling the stroller behind her and if she was blind, how would she see anyone nod? Maybe an explanation that she wasn’t completely blind and could make out shapes would have helped, but that was never mentioned.
The premise of the storyline of someone with a degenerative eye disease raising a child on her own did have the capability of being a great book, and the first half, she had it going on.
I want to thank St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book for my honest unbiased opinion. This is a 3 ½ star rounded up to 4…based upon the first half of the story.

Bec is a blind widow, raising her infant son alone. Bec beings to think she is being followed and that someone has been in her home. One day after a visit to the park, she is sure the baby she has is not her own. Every one thinks Rebecca is wrong. Her baby couldn't possibly have been switched with another baby.
I have always been fascinated by how visually impaired people navigate the world. This book was great,
Many thanks to Rea Frey, the author, St. Martin Press and NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Rebecca (Bec) Gray, mother of three month old Jackson is doing it really tough. Once an accomplished musician she has gradually been losing her sight and is now almost blind. To make matters worse she lost her husband almost a year ago and then her mother a few weeks ago. Still grieving both of them, she is slowly adapting to life on her own back in her mother's house, where she grew up, in suburban Chicago. She has made friends with other women with babies in the neighborhood park and another single mother who recently lost her husband has been helping her update the interior of her house.

However, life is about to get worse for Bec after she falls and bumps her head in the park, she finds herself in a living nightmare, convinced the baby in her stroller is not her son. None of her friends or the police believe her, after all the baby looks like Jackson as far as her friends can tell, and think she's just confused and needs a good night's sleep.

This is a tense and emotionally charged read that's hard to put down as Bec struggles to get someone to listen to her. Rea Frey has artfully described the challenges that come with being blind and learning to not only navigate the streets and city on your own but to also look after a baby you can barely see. Then there is the question of whether Bec is delusional and suffering from a psychological syndrome or why anyone would want to swap a perfectly healthy baby for another.

What a truly humbling story.

Until I Find You is a deeply touching story. I feel like it goes deeper than the traditional thriller and while it does a wonderful job keeping us on the edge of our seats area Frey really makes you think and evaluate the way you live your life.

While I hope to never go blind, Bec makes it a little less scary. This woman is fierce AF, and while going through an unimaginable crisis where no one believes her she manages to stay strong and persevere.

This book hits me so much deeper than I ever could have imagined. And I hope everyone who reads it, loves it too.

The author is an auto-read for me so I was ecstatic to get my hands on her newest book. This was another emotional tale that pulls on a mama’s heartstrings! I sat in rapt attention throughout the book and read this in one sitting. The author is a phenomenal author and this is exceptionally written. She is adept at putting the reader in the characters mindset, this time a blind woman. I could feel all of the emotions that the mother was feeling as she struggles with the belief that her baby has been swapped with another, even as others don’t believe her. The author did a fabulous job representing the blind and the obstacles they face. I learned a lot about being a blind person and keenly felt the desperation of the mother as she fought to find out the truth and have others believe her. The end was a bit of a let down for me, as the truth wasn’t what I was expecting (and not in a good way). Overall, this was an enjoyable read. My thanks to the publisher for the advance reader in exchange for my honest review.

UNTIL I FIND YOU by Rea Frey is a compelling and heart-wrenching story of loss, trust and the power of a mother’s love for her child. Recently widowed and now blind from a degenerative eye disease, Rebecca Gray returns to her familiar childhood home in the suburbs to raise her baby son, Jackson with the help of her mother. Not long thereafter, her mother also dies leaving Bec completely alone to care for Jackson. One day, while at the park with trusted friends, Bec faints. They get her to safety, but when she later awakens and goes to her crying baby, she is positive that the baby she comforts is not her Jackson. She tries to convince her friends and the police that this is not her child, but no one believes her. Determined to find out what happened to Jackson and bring him home, Bec must trust her instincts and go way outside her limited world despite the danger. This powerful story is full of raw emotion and twists and turns I never saw coming. The characters and their relationships were expertly portrayed. I could literally feel Bec’s panic and confusion as she tries to figure out what could have happened to her baby. The story kept me totally engaged right up until the shocking and unpredictable ending. I enjoyed this fast-paced and suspenseful domestic drama and highly recommend it. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read an early copy.

It's been a long time since I've read a book in one sitting, but I did with this one! Rebecca has been diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease and is going blind day by day. In the wake of her husband and mother's deaths, she's living in her childhood home with her 3 month old son Jackson. One day, she faints in the park and when she wakes up later at home, she finds a baby who she's convinced is not Jackson. Where is her son, who is this child in her home, and why doesn't anyone believe her? I thought the answer was fairly obvious and felt like I was always one step ahead of Bec in figuring things out, but the journey to figure out how and why still kept me engrossed. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for sharing this early digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

Loved this book! Story about a blind woman who reaches into the crib to get her baby boy and discovers its not him. No one will believe her. Great twists and turns throughout..

Get ready to cry!!! This book will wreck you in the best possible way! Being a new mom, this book hit all the spots. I couldn’t even imagine being blind and recently widowed. Talk about challenging and heartbreaking. I highly recommend this, but with caution as a mother.

First let me say don’t start this one late in the day/evening unless you plan to stay up to finish it; which I did! One chapter leads to an event that leads to an event to another emotion and you can’t stop. Rea Frey has become one of my favorite authors! I couldn’t stop guessing and turning pages fast enough. Thanks to Netgalley and St Martins Press for the ARC

I loved Until I Find you by Rea Frey! The book begins with Rebecca, who is blind, walking to the park thinking someone is following her. Finding out right off the bat that she was blind really set the tone for the book and I felt like I was constantly "looking over my shoulder" waiting for something huge to happen...just like Rebecca was. This was a suspenseful novel that was somewhat straight forward but still had an ending I did not expect. I would love to see a sequel to find out what happens to Rebecca and her friends in the years to come. I definitely plan on recommending Until I Find You to all of my friends. Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the chance to read an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

Bec is mostly blind with a 3 month old son. Her husband died before Jackson was ever born. When she is at the park with her friends, she faints. When she wakes up, she knows the baby in Jackson's stroller is not Jackson. The problem is no one believes her! Bec is on a mission to find Jackson and bring him back home! This was a good thriller but a few times I thought things that were happening were a bit far fetched. But all in all it was a book I enjoyed. I received an advanced readers copy and all opinions are my own.

Plot and characters held sufficient interest to finish reading. Denouement is not completely believable; perhaps too much reliance on a ten year old, nondisclosure agreement with a nanny, and a woman not having materiala feelings about babies.
Thanks to St. Martin's and NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

In a small suburb near Chicago, Rebecca lives with her baby son Jackson. She is recently widowed and is trying to cope with being a single mom who is also almost blind. She is living her life through a set of numbers - counting steps to her house, steps to her child's crib, steps to the park. The only thing on her side is that she has a good memory. Then one day as she is enjoying the company of a few other moms, her world comes crashing down, and that is when she feels like she is taking on the world, because who will believe a blind,, psychologically scared mom.
I really enjoyed this book. It is the psychological thriller that holds you until the end.

This was a Lifetime movie in book form. So the good..
I tore through this book quickly and pretty much had no clue as to what was going on. The author does an excellent job of setting Rebecca up as an unreliable narrator, and it does not feel tired here. She does a good job of making both main characters empathetic.

The not good:
The flip flopping narration between the two main characters was not clear cut here. I'm not sure if it was done on purpose by the author but honestly I just kind of found it confusing. I plowed through, but that did not make this book easy to read and digest.

All in all this is a decent, quick read and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to read it.
