It took me a long time to write this review because I have mixed feelings about this book. I think I wanted to like it more than I actually did. Carey and her younger sister have spent ten years living in the woods with their drug-addicted mother. After their mother disappears, they are sent to li...

I started out listening to the audiobook for If You Find Me. But about halfway through, I found that I didn't like the narrator's accents or voices for the characters. So, instead, I finished by reading the book. That being said, I did enjoy the book immensely. It is a sad and haunting story of t...

4.5/5Such a powerful book full of raw emotion and sisterly love. I absolutely adored the focus on family here and my heart completely went out to Carey and Nessa. If you have a younger sibling you might understand what it means to fiercely love them and to do anything for them. -- Full review to com...
