There You'll Find Me

I laughed my way through the first three quarters of this book before almost not being able to finish it because I was crying too much to see the words. Absolutely beautiful with its descriptions of Ireland and such an incredible story of grace, second chances and letting go. One of the best books I've read in a very long time. \\r\\n\\r\\nWarning though, it tells the story through the eyes of a girl who's dealing with anxiety by holding on to what control she thinks she has and, subsequently, is on the cusp of an eating disorder. Brilliant (and so, so highly recommended) if you're a youth leader or someone dealing with teenaged girls as it's an incredible insight into the mind of someone in that place, but - given it's almost a diary entry in parts as to how to lose weight fast and keep that control - maybe not so much for someone who's already struggling. \\r\\n

This is a lovely story which combines a light, clean romance with some serious topics surrounding death, self-esteem, finding yourself and finding God. The book has a beautiful setting, interesting storyline and really gets you thinking about some of the issues the characters go through, such as fame and self image. I thoroughly enjoyed 'There You'll Find Me', and would highly recommend for teen girls aged fourteen or fifteen up.

This book is a must read for all teenage girls. This book has the classic romance but it also has the God inspiring experience. Finley stuggles with the death of her brother and thinks that God is too far away to help, but He is there always. It is often that we find ourselves lonely when we go through our own struggles as a teen and once i read this book i realised that God is always, always there so we should never feel alone. If you are struggling to find God this is a great book to help you understand that He is there for you in the good times and the bad. This is my favourite book and it has helped me lots. Please read because you will not be disapointed.

After the death of her dearly loved brother Will, Finley Sinclair flies over to Ireland in order to follow his travel journey, to the places where he felt closest to God. But once there she begins to break down. Not only is the pressure of school and her upcoming audition getting too much, but the test of being near her brother's most treasured places. Also, her relationship with Beckett Rush, the teen heartthrob and Hollywood bad boy, proves challenging. However through all these moments Finley begins to realise that God is everywhere, no matter what she is going through. It was this aspect of the book I found most inspiring. Being a teenager myself, I sometimes feel that God isn't always there. Reading this book really helped reassure me that He actually is right beside me. Jones also did a great job with the romance between Finley and Beckett, which is actually the aspect that drew me to the book. Overall, this book is one book I would really recommend and can see myself reading more often in the future.

The story of two teens, Finley Sinclair and Beckett Rush, is a story any teenage girl who loves their romance should read. \\r\\n\\r\\nPersonally I find this story between Finley and Beckett one to enjoy. Just like every teenage romance novel, the girl is the one who resists the guy the most, the one who takes some convincing to go out with, let alone befriend. The enjoying aspect of this is you know they are going to end up together, so reading the friendship begin to form from a state of hesitation is what makes this book enjoyable. But the twist of her being a 'normal' teenager, not a movie star like the other 'cool girls', adds another dimension to the story, one that proves reality for most of us dreamy teenage girls. \\r\\n\\r\\nHowever, the story does tackle some other personal aspects that are very significant to Finley's life because they are what allow her to be where she is. Her spiritual battle also plays a big role because it helps her get over her brother's death, for she realises that God is everywhere, no matter where she is or what she has gone through. I found this aspect really help me with my christain walk for I sometimes feel that God is very far away and reading this really helped me realise this is not so. \\r\\n\\r\\nI really recommend this book to every teenage girl who loves their classic contemporary romance novels because this is one that can't be missed. \\r\\n
