"There are some things you can’t leave behind…A broken-down camper hidden deep in a national forest is the only home fifteen year-old Carey can remember. The trees keep guard over her threadbare existence, with the one bright spot being Carey’s younger sister, Jenessa, who depends on Carey for her very survival. All they have is each other, as their mentally ill mother comes and goes with greater frequency. Until that one fateful day their mother disappears for good, and two strangers arrive. Suddenly, the girls are taken from the woods and thrust into a bright and perplexing new world of high school, clothes and boys.
Now, Carey must face the truth of why her mother abducted her ten years ago, while haunted by a past that won’t let her go… a dark past that hides many a secret, including the reason Jenessa hasn’t spoken a word in over a year. Carey knows she must keep her sister close, and her secrets even closer, or risk watching her new life come crashing down." -Goodreads.com
Wow. If You Find Me left me speechless after I finished it. I went into to it expecting it to be good but not leaving me speechless.... specifically the last 50ish pages. I really loved how Emily Murdoch wrote out the story and really liked her writing style (I am actually hesitant when reading something by a new author because there are writing styles that I just can't get into.).
5 stars.
Read from March 29 to 30, 2013
