When I was halfway through this book, I thought I knew how it was going to end. With a feel-good ending where she gets the guy, makes up with her mom, gets her family back, and she lives her dreams. It.. did end that way, but with a twist. Someday We'll Find It is a story about a girl, stuck in her small Illinois town, in a fog. Plagued by thoughts like "if I had just done this...", this girl is a victim of gaslighting and twisting that only people close to her would be capable of. As someone who has experienced these things, this is written so well. Doing what other people say because not only is it easy, but it's the path of least resistance where at least they'll get to see that other person happy. Even if it doesn't make you happy. Bliss's character development through the story is a slow progress to a not perfect, not fully free person, but one that is more aware of choosing the word "no". Especially when you think, and you're supposed to want it, you can still say no.
For a debut novel, I absolutely adored it and can't wait to see what Jennifer Wilson brings to the table next. I am going to gush about this book for years to come, and I hope others will join with me. Especially as a way to describe what I had been through and felt when trying to make the important people happy.
