In a windswept British seaside town, single mum Alice Lake finds a man sitting on the beach outside her house. He has no name and no idea how he got there. Against her better judgment, she invites him inside.

Meanwhile, in a suburb of London, twenty-one-year-old Lily Monrose has only been married for three weeks. When her husband fails to come home from work one night, she is left alone in a place where she knows no one and with the police telling her that her husband never existed.

    East Yorkshire: Alice Lake finds a man on the beach outside her house. He has no name, no jacket, no idea what he is doing there. She invites him in to her home. Lily Monrose‘s husband fails to come home. Are these men one and the same? Read Lisa Jewell‘s novel to find out. She brings us another brilliant story which is hard to resist. She had my mind spinning while listening to the audio. Highly recommended!

    I have read a couple of Jewell’s book and love her writing style, as well as how she weaves twists into a story without relying heavily on cliff hangers. This book has been my favorite so far, because how she tied these stories together seemed impossible at first, and I wasn’t sure of the solution until it was presented to me. I love genuinely having no clue what will happen in a story.

    There are two story lines going on in I Found You. For starters, Alice, a single mom, finds a man who looks lost on the beach near her home. Alice is kind and takes in this man who can't seem to remember who he is or where he's from. Meanwhile, Lily, a young woman living in London,is starting to panic because her husband has not returned home for several days. As in all of Jewell's novels,

    The book bounces between present day with "Frank" and Alice at a seaside town and Lily, whose husband Carl has disappeared. And 1993 with the story of teenage siblings Kirsty and her older brother Gray, their parents and Mark the older teenager that has his sights set on Kirsty. I can't say that this was an "unputdownable" book. I found myself losing interest at times, however I wanted to keep reading to figure out how all the characters fit together. Once that came about, I couldn't put this down, but it took a while to get to that stage. The overall storyline was very good. Mark is not someone I would ever want to meet. 4 stars because of the slowness.

    I read this book in two days. I was so eager to see what happened. Alice Lake finds a man on the beach in front of her house that has lost his memory and she takes him in and allows him to live in a shed behind her home. Alice is one who is prone to making terrible decisions. She has three very loud kids and three untrained, wild dogs. Alice and the kids give the stranger the name of Frank and he lives with them as his memories start to surface. The more he remembers, the more he develops a sense of doom about who he is and what he has done. Meanwhile, a recently married woman named Lily is frantic about the disapperance of her husband. As the police begin to invesitgate, Lily is left with alot of questions about her husband really is and what has happened to hime. We also go back in time to a brother and sister (Kristy and Gray) who are vacationing at Rindinghouse Bay. A man becomes infactuated with Kristy much to Gray's dismay. Gray senses that this man is trouble. As the three layers of the story developed, I could not turn the pages fast enough. "People reveal themselves to you a layer at a time.""There's a dark side to everything."

    I Found You starts with chaotic single mum, Alice, finding a man on the beach outside her home. He's lost his memory and Alice finds herself taking him under her wing. Meanwhile, a young woman, newly married and new to the UK, waits alone for her husband to come home. As the days pass by she learns she hardly knew him at all.I love Lisa Jewell's books and I Found You is no exception. From the very first page I was drawn into the story, not only of the mysterious man, but of Alice and her family. The story is full of twists and turns and it really kept me guessing. Everything is certainly not what it seems. It's a fast-paced story with some real cliffhanger chapter endings, making me not want to put it down. The writing is full of empathy and I thought it was superbly written.

    5/5
    Here's a fine thriller, with a completely admirable and somewhat unstable mom who kicks off the tale when she can't resist a soggy, seemingly lost man lost in thought on a rainy beach in England. Alice has three different kids by three different men and lives with them in a tiny beach cottage, making her tenuous living by creating maps as art pieces. When she brings Frank home, there's no inkling of the havoc he's going to cause for this unusual family. Nor that he has some form of amnesia due to trauma, and that there's also a young Slovenian wife in London who's got a missing husband with a bogus passport. The unraveling is pure pleasure for the reader, measured and maintaining suspense throughout, with nary a plot hole nor a word out of place. My first read by Lisa Jewell, who's prolific and may keep me occupied through the summer.

    What happens when there is a single woman with three children, a man who doesn't know who he is, a newly married woman who just moved to town, and a family who might have a connection to them at some point?Alice, Lily, and "Frank" are connected but don't know they are.Alice invited "Frank" inside her home when she saw him sitting on the beach.Lily's husband has disappeared and has no clue what happened to him or if she even knows who he is."Frank" doesn't know who he is.I FOUND YOU has odd, dysfunctional, and mentally ill characters but flows well and has a story line that grabs you. I liked the back and forth in time and the back and forth between the three main characters. As you read you know something is wrong all around. Someone just doesn't disappear, end up back where they may have been as a child, or be in some place a crime had taken place.Ms. Jewell weaved in a great deal of suspense, intrigue, edge-of-your-seat tension, and a whole lot of I don't want to stop reading in I FOUND YOU even though some chapters were literally frightening and became more frightening as the book continued.The secret of it all led to an ending with a marvelous twist and surprise. 5/5This book was given to me free of charge and without compensation by the publisher in return for an honest review.

    I loved this book! Alice finds a man just sitting on the beach in the back of her house. She goes by her window several times and still, he's just sitting there. It starts raining and still he's just sitting there looking out at the water. She gives him a coat left from an old tenant who rented her little cabin in the back. After talking to him, she finds out he has lost his memory and invites him inside.Meanwhile, the author has several other plots going on in the book. While reading, your not sure how or where everything fits. However, when it all comes together, oh my gosh. I am getting goose pimples writing this and thinking about how it all tumbled out in the end. This is an amazing read with lots of suspense. The characters are well developed and unforgettable. There is evil in here too. Evil you cannot even believe. This was not my first book by Lisa Jewell, I've read several and she has not failed me yet. Once again, an awesome read that I highly recommend.Thanks to Atria Books for approving my request and Net Galley for the free e-galley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

    Loved this book from the moment I started reading it. I didn't want to put it down. I enjoyed everything about it- the writing style, the story and the characters. Lily's husband, Carl, goes missing on his way home from work. They are newlyweds and have recently returned home from their honeymoon. At the same time Alice meets a man sitting on the beach who has no memory. I immediately thought maybe he is Lily's husband.The book alternates between the present and 1993. Ding 1993, we get to learn about the Ross family while they vacation for two weeks at the same house they stay at every year and the tragedy that struck that summer. Throughout the book I knew the man with no memory, who was going by "Frank" had to be either Mark or Gray. I just wasn't sure. I loved reading about the characters and getting to know them. I was a little sad when the book was over because I just wanted to keep reading about them. I have to say this was one of my favorites books I have read so far this year. I can't wait to read more by the author.Thanks to NetGalley, Random House UK, Cornerstone and the author, Lisa Jewell, for a free electronic ARC of this novel.

    I waited a long time to write the review on I Found You because I was pretty conflicted about how I should rate it. On one hand, I could not put it down, and the book had a lot of twist and turns that I did not see coming (the big one I did figure out but not for a while); on the other hand, the female protagonist drove me a little nutty and was fairly unlikable, and several characters did things that no person I know would do. In the end, the fact that I could not put it down and there were some good twists led me to give I Found You 4 stars. Lisa Jewell does a phenomenal job setting up the story and making it unfold in a page-turning manner. I do not want to spoil even one bit of the story so I will not say any more about the plot other than to say that I woke up in the middle of the night and figured out one section of the mystery. That has never happened to me before, and I took that as I sign that I Found You was a really good book if I was thinking about it as I slept!I Found You is a clever thriller that I generally enjoyed a lot. Thanks to Atria Books and NetGalley for the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

    In Yorkshire, Alice notices someone sitting on the beach in the pouring rain. Meanwhile in Surrey, Russian Lily is distraught when her new husband fails to return home from work. What is the connection? This was an enjoyable read with its mix of suspense and mystery but maybe not one of this author's very best books. The 1993 sections were interesting as the starting point for the story - a simple family holiday which takes a sinister turn . The characters were "human" in that the reader could relate to them and their actions. Generous and good hearted Alice, rude and rather abrupt Lily plus the man on the beach who is so confused, doesn't know who he is or what he's doing there - but read on, all will be revealed in due course!

    There's a man sitting on the beach, just sitting there, for hours and hours...when Alice takes him a jacket and offers him shelter from the cold and rain she learns that he doesn't know who he is or where he's from or why he's there.As the story progresses we find out all of those answers. His story is haunting.At one point I was really caught up in the storyline but I think the ending fell a little flat so I keep going back and forth with 3.5 or 4

    I love these suspenseful, complex mysteries with characters I can root for. The audiobook narrator has the loveliest British accent. Alice, a single mom of three, finds a man on the beach near her home with memory or identification. Lily, a 21-year-old newlywed’s husband is missing. I couldn’t help trying to figure the story out, but I was so far off and genuinely surprised. I appreciate how the author concluded the story too. Sometimes, it’s nice when a book answers my questions and gives me a conclusion I can digest.

    Alice finds a man sitting on the beach all day. She then goes out, finds he has amnesia, and invites him in. On the same day, Lilly's husband doesn't come home. After contacting the police they tell her no such person exists.The pov alternates from Alice, Lily and an event in 1993. This book really had me guessing who the man with amnesia was, nicknamed "Frank" by Alice's five-year-old daughter. I kept changing my mind! But I loved the way everything turned out. This was a page-turner and my favourite out of the three books I've read by Jewell.

    There are a couple of mysteries going on - a mysterious man who doesn't remember who he is and is taken in by Alice, who has questionable instincts. Another man who has gone missing, leaving behind his Ukrainian bride of 10 days. And a weird story from 20 years earlier about a creeper. The suspense and trying to figure out how these stories fit together will keep you reading.

    As the title suggests, Lisa Jewell's 2016 novel “I Found You” is a missing-person novel, although more accurately it is a missing-persons novel. Several characters are missing, in one way or another, during the course of her story, including a central character who is missing his entire identity.Alice Lake lives in a remote English seacoast village with her three children, each with a different father. Now there's a man missing from her life, an empty spot in her bed, and when she finds a man on the beach who remembers nothing about his past, she begins to imagine that he might fill it. Because he is missing a name, she calls him Frank. For all she knows, he might be a murderer, yet hope drives her to welcome him into her home.Meanwhile, hours away, an Eastern European woman called Lilly, who has recently married a British man, becomes worried when Carl Monrose fails to come home from work. When the police use the missing man's passport to try to find him, they discover that, officially at least, he doesn't even exist.The novel's third leg, set back in 1993, involves a family of four spending a holiday in a seacoast town. Graham, or Gray as he prefers to be called, is in his late teens and protective of his younger sister, Kirsty, especially when an older boy named Mark starts hanging around her. Gray tries to warn both her and their parents that Mark acts strange and should not be trusted. Then he fails to take his own advice, and disaster occurs.Of course, these three threads eventually weave together, and they do so in surprising ways. There are other missing people in this story, but to say who they are would reveal too much.This is a novel, though contrived, that one will read at a breakneck speed. If Jewell's title reveals something about the plot, it also reveals something about how it ends.

    This was my first book by Lisa Jewell and I did enjoy it. My only real complaint was trying to keep track of so many characters in such a long story. Overall a good 3.5 stars definitely. It was a different type of mystery then I have been reading and that was refreshing also.

    Sometime when I read multiple books by the same author I can figure out how they write or a pattern and lose interest in their books. I’ve really enjoyed Lisa Jewels books and was afraid that might happen as I decided to read “I Found You”, I’m happy to report it was my favorite one so far! I was hooked from the beginning and went through so many emotions as I read! Totally recommend.
