Wow! First book read of area Frey! The character, Rebecca had me hooked. A single mom after the death of her husband, single mom and being blind! Her journey in finding the truth about her child who she believes isn’t hers. No one believes her. Very suspenseful! I look forward to reading others by Ms. Frey.

Very interesting book about a blind mother who is positive that her baby was switched, but no one believes her. I loved the book and how you weren’t entirely sure who to trust. I wish there had been more clues to what actually happened but overall it was a very engrossing mystery.

Until I Find You perfectly captured my worst fears - blindness, those dreams you have after having a baby, friend insecurity - Frey ticked all the boxes! The author did her research and it showed. I never knew there were so many devices that could help with daily life for someone who is visually impaired.

Rebecca is so independent, she denies that she needs help - with life, with her baby, and with the trauma of losing her husband. So in a moment of weakness, she lets her guard down. When an ex-boyfriend enters the picture - can she trust him? Can she trust her friends? After a harrowing incident, who can she go to who will believe her? The police? Her psychologist? Her friends?

I read this book obsessively all the while wondering what I would do in the same situation. Thank goodness Rebecca was more resourceful than I would be!

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an advanced reader's copy for review.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an opportunity to read and review this book. Rebecca (Bec) is barely hanging on, she has a degenerative eye disease and is blind, her husband was killed in and hit and run and her mom died shortly after her husband of a heart condition. Bec counts steps, recognizes smells, feels where things are and has this second sense that someone is watching her, been in her home....and then she goes to get her son Jackson and it is not her son! This book was amazing, suspense at its best, could not put down and it grabs you from the get go. Was her friends involved? what exactly is going on? Great book.

St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Until I Find You. I voluntarily chose to review this novel and my opinion is freely given.

Rebecca is a young widow with a degenerative disease that is slowly robbing her of sight. As a new mother, Rebecca has been coping with her situation the best that she can by creating a safe environment for herself and her child. As the woman, so aware of her surroundings, becomes convinced that someone is toying with her, will she be able to convince the authorities and her friends that something is wrong?

At the core of this novel is the idea that a mother knows her own child. Elements of the book were compelling and emotionally written, but some of the plot points seemed to be there just to move the story along. It just did not seem likely that the hospital and social services would have not helped Rebecca. It was unrealistic that her friends proved unhelpful and I found the conclusion to lack logical substance. The strength of this story is its emotional content, as parenthood is overwhelming and challenging for anyone. Overall, Until I Find You had promise, but misses the mark for me somewhat.

Until I Find You was such a heart-wrenching yet captivating novel! I tend to be drawn towards psychological fiction with children as the main focus and I was instantly intrigued when reading the summary on this novel, and was so happy that I read it. Being a new mom is hard enough, but when combined with also being blind, widowed, and emotional, it isn't surprising that Rebecca's life is far from easy. She luckily has a great network of friends, but really gets to know them, and know who is really there for her, when more obstacles are thrown her way. I was immersed throughout this novel and did not want to stop reading. I flew through it easily and eagerly and loved every page. I have read other novels by this author and I loved those as well, Rea Frey is a fantastic author!

I was provided with a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

An intriguing tale of a blind woman's quest to find her son who she believes has been switched.

I really liked the unique take on this book - how does going blind affect others trust in her claim about her sun? How does it affect how she can work to retrieve her son? However, the majority of the book was fairly standard for a thriller and didn't shock me as a reader.

Written in a dual narrative going between Bec in the first person present to Crystal in third person present, I personally am not a big fan of books written in present tense.

Aspects of the book felt over described in unnecessary ways which distracted me from the story being told.

Overall, a quick summer thriller read which I enjoyed.

Bec has lost her eyesight due to a degenerative eye disease. She goes to pick up her baby and she knows it isn't hers and no one believes her. She fights alone to find her son. What an emotional and scary journey.

This is a decent mystery overall--what, if anything happened to Rebecca's son? Was he switched with another baby, and if so, why? I appreciated and was intrigued by the overall premise.
What didn't really work was Rebecca herself. Her personality was super grating and I never warmed to her like I should have been able to. I'm not a fan of armchair detectives and she takes this to another level--the fact that she's blind makes for basically hysterical fumbling around accusing everyone and getting angry and frantic at everyone and everything.
I liked the blindness angle, it was obvious the author had done her research into it and it gave a unique spin on the tale. Her police details, on the other hand, need some more research. Pretty sure this case didn't meet the Amber Alert criteria. And could they not have done some sort of blood test or other test to determine if she was the parent? I can't believe that they would just blow her off as crazy and not even try to figure out if the baby was really hers.
Bottom line: OK mystery, but nothing amazing.

I only discovered Rea Frey last year when I read Because You're Mine and really loved it. So I was super excited to jump into her newest.
This story just pulled me in right from the very beginning and I binged it in a day.
Rebecca Gray is a widow and new mother of son Jackson. Most of her sight is gone due to a degenerative eye disease. She also recently lost her mother so she is raising her baby alone and it is very challenging.
But she is lucky to have the support of her friends.
After a fainting incident at the park, Bec realizes that her baby has been swapped. The baby she has is very similar to Jackson, but she knows the shape of his face is wrong, the little patch of eczema he's always had by his ear is gone, and this boy is much fussier than Jackson.
But not one believes her.
What lengths will a mother go through to find her child?
Wow! This domestic thriller was so tense and suspenseful.
Rea Frey does it again!
Thank you St. Martins's Press for the e-ARC via NetGalley.

This was a fast-moving book. I couldn't put it down. I can't even imagine being in Rebecca's shoes having a degenerative disease where you are losing your eye sight. Rebecca is one tough Momma. She is the strongest character in this book. Taking care of a baby by herself as she tries to come to terms with the death of her spouse and Mother in the same year. Rebecca knows every square inch of her son and when she picks him up after sleeping all day due to a fainting spell and lack of sleep she finds that this is not her son. She finds no one believes her and even an ex-boyfriend who resurfaces and helps her track down her son has doubts about Rebecca's wellbeing and stability. A mother knows her children and she'll do whatever she can to get her baby back and find the parents of this baby she is carrying for. I highly recommend this book!

This book did not appeal to me. And since I’m one of the few that felt this way, I would encourage readers to read other reviews before making a decision whether to try this book. Rebecca’s behavior got on my nerves. There seemed to be too many things that didn’t make sense. Why wouldn’t a blood test confirm whether or not the baby is hers. There were a lot of extreme emotions and situations which some readers may enjoy, but didn’t work for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Griffin Press for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.

Thank you so much for the copy of Until I Find You. I was intrigued by the cover and synopsis for this one. I tried to pick it up a few times, but I was not able to connect with the story line and characters.

Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I'm sure that others will like it and I have seen several favorable reviews for it. Thank you again for the opportunity to read this one.

Thank you to St.Martin's Press for my copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. I will not be sharing my thoughts/reviews outside of Netgalley in a review

This was the first time I’ve read anything by this author but I can’t wait to read her other books. Incredible description of the character Rebecca Gray and the disease she is dealing with and eventually being totally blind. Bec has to deal with every mothers nightmare when she awakes from sleep to go to check on her baby only to find he’s not there. The story is a roller coaster of emotions

Sometimes it’s possible to get so lost in a book that it doesn’t feel like I’m reading it, it feels like I’m living it. That’s how I felt in this book. Rebecca (Bec) is a new mom - Jackson is only 3 months old. In the past year she lost her husband in an accident and her mother to illness so she’s doing it all on her own. She also has a degenerative eye disease and has almost no vision.

When creepy things start happening - I felt them all along with her - footsteps behind her, things moved around in her house, doors unlocked that she knew she locked. Then one day when she went to pick Jackson up from his crib - she found it wasn’t him but another baby. No one will believe her but she *knows* this isn’t her baby. She’s determined to figure it out, find Jackson and learn who the baby is that was left in his place.

I really enjoyed how much I was drawn into this story and trying to figure out what to believe. Ultimately I felt like the resolution was a little bit of a disappointment and I feel there were some loose ends that weren’t tied up. However this was still a compelling read that I flew through in a day and I will continue to read more of Frey’s books.

Thank you to Netgalley and St Martin’s Press for the advance reading copies. I also bought the audiobook from Librofm and listened to it - great narration.

This was a very enlightening story for me. I have never really considered or thought through the details of how a blind person would care for a baby. I found this heart breaking that a mom could know the baby in her house is not her baby. It is frustrating and a struggle to get anyone to believe that the baby she is caring for is not her son.
A mom knows her baby. This story will touch your heart and will shock and surprise you.
Will anyone believe that her baby is gone? How can you find you baby when you are blind, your spouse has passed away?

I really enjoyed this story. Thank you to Netgalley for complimentary copy. My thoughts and feelings are my own.

Once again I am floored by how Frey just draws me into her stories from page one and keeps me absolutely riveted until the very last. In this particular book, she introduces us to Bec, who has lost her sight in her adulthood, lost her husband before her baby was born, moved into her mother's house, lost her and is now just trying to keep her shit together. Then she's positive that the baby she's picks up one day is not hers... so what has happened and why won't anyone believe her?


PHEW - this is quite the roller coaster. And I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to write this without giving anything away. So I'll just say that the way Frey gives us this view of a blind woman is impressive and I absolutely appreciate all the research she put into giving us a strong main character with a disability. There was just one little thing with the reveal that didn't *quite* make sense to me in terms of the happenings of it all... but that's such a small thing and it didn't take away from the absolute feelings I got while reading this story. The final letter had my eyes a little wet. I could not put this book down.

This is my third book by Frey and I would highly recommend each and every one. Frey is easily one of my favorite authors and I will pick up anything she puts out into the world. If you love page turning suspense novels that really tug at your heart strings, absolutely put this on your TBR - then come and talk to me!

This was marketed as a thriller but I found it to be more of an exploration of grief. It fell a little short for me as I often didn’t get the motivations behind the characters actions and I thought the ending fell really flat.

This my third book by Rea Frey and like her others, it did not disappoint. Rebecca was such a compelling character and so well developed. The twists and turns within the plot kept propelling me forward. I couldn't put it down.

Another incredibly deep suspense-filled novel by Rea Frey!

What’s your worst fear as a Mom? What’s your worst fear in general? How do you think you’d cope being a blind Mom of a 3 month old with no husband and no other family? This book was so good and made my thoughts run jagged with the what if’s. I started reading yesterday and ultimately, read till I couldn’t go any further. Today I was able to finish and I can tell you, Rea Frey is truly an amazing author and you should read all of her novels.

Rebecca is a famed musician, with a degenerative eye disease that’s failing her everyday. To get anywhere she counts and has a photographic memory and then the ultimate and unthinkable happens, her perfectly sweet baby is switched. The worst comes when her friends and the police don’t believe her. What do you do, where do you go, who do you ask to help when a nightmare like this happens?

Thank you to St Martins Press, NetGalley and Rea Frey! Amazing job!
