Until I Find You

I was looking forward to reading this book because I had really enjoyed a previous book I read by this author. I had high expectations, and I was a bit let down. I almost DNFed this at 35% because I was bored with it. It didn't seem like anything was ever going to happen. There was a lot of backstory and a lot stuff about motherhood. For those that enjoy reading about mothers and that experience, it would probably have been enjoyable, but I am not one of those people. I stuck with the book, though, and it definitely got better for me. I ended up liking the second half of the book.

In this story, the main character Rebecca is a widowed young mother who is also blind. One day after a fainting spell in the park, she becomes convinced that the baby boy she brought home that day is not her son. However, no one seems to believe her, and she has to fight just to get anyone to help her search for her missing child. This premise is quite intriguing, and after the incident actually happens (about 1/3 of the way into the book), it is very engaging. I felt sympathy for this blind woman who was doubted constantly because of her disability. On the other, I also found her frustrating because she never wanted to let people help her unless it was her idea.

Overall, the book is good. It moves a bit slower than I would like in the beginning, but by the second half it is more fast-paced and engaging.
