The blurb:
Julia and Charlie are ecstatic to
be reunited with their stolen child, Hadyn. A year after he was snatched from a
beach in Spain during a family holiday, they had feared that he would never be
found alive.
Now the couple are eager for their
lives to return to normal – but something is very wrong. Hadyn is still in many
ways a ‘lost’ child. He seems to have been badly affected by the abduction,
making it impossible for the family to simply pick up the pieces and move on.
In their efforts to unravel exactly
what happened to their son and to find a cure, Julia and Charlie clash as to
the best way forward. As their own insecurities surface, their relationship
comes under threat - a situation not helped by the appearance of a former lover
who is only too happy to rock the boat.
As dark secrets are uncovered, the
couple’s love for each other is tested to its very limits, and they begin to
doubt that they will ever be able to help their troubled little boy...
Until, at last, they stumble across
an unexpected truth. A truth that might be the only thing left that could save
their family.
Emotionally intense and deeply
moving, this follow-up to Little Miracles will grip you from the very first
page.
My Opinion:
*Book provided
by the author in exchange for an honest review*
Finding You is part two of the
story of Julia, Charlie and Haydn. The first book is called Little Miracles.
You don’t necessarily have to read the first one, I didn’t and it was no
problem, we get enough information in this story of what happened before.
Julia, Charlie and their son
are finally able to return to England, after they went through hell when Hayden
suddenly disappeared. They found him again and Julia and Charlie got back
together again. Charlie just left her, when Hayden was missing and he spent a
lot of time with his ex girlfriend then. Only later we find out, what they were
doing exactly, but he doesn’t find the possibility to tell her and then she
finds out herself and that’s just a whole misunderstanding, just now when they
got back together again.
The two of them have to talk
about what happened and also about their feelings for each other. They wanted
to get married, and now? Then there is Haydn, little Haydn who is really
different now, they have difficulties to find a connection to him. Does he suffer
a trauma from all what happened? Charlie and Julia go through a lot to find out
and eventually they do, and it’s not really what everyone thought it’s about…
The drama and the
misunderstandings are there and we also get to know Charlie’s family a bit
more. Unfortunately I couldn’t click with the story, it was hard to find an
emotional connection. The story was told from both Charlie’s and Julia’s
perspective, but I couldn’t relate to them, the feelings didn’t really get
through.
I liked the story in a whole
and the ending was super cute, but the important spark was missing.
