“Finding You” by Kelly Harper5 out of 5 stars“Finding You”, the newest addition to the By You family by Kelly Harper is a worthy one.  This book finds Sarah still dealing with the emotional fallout from her break up with Huck and questioning whether she really belongs at college.  Never having had to be on her own before, Sarah seems unsure of who she is without the influence of her parents and Huck to help her.I loved Sarah’s journey in this book.  In previous books her character didn’t really seem to have its own identity…she typically came as a pair.  It was Sarah and her parents, Sarah and Maggie, or Sarah and Huck.  Even in the novella prior to this story, she seemed reluctant to make friends away from Huck.  Here, she has no option but to stand on her own two feet and decide to stay at college for herself and no one else.  It was great to see her find her inner strength and realize that she has worth on her own.  That realization is what enables her to open herself to the possibilities that come with Jeremy.While I loved Sarah, for me, Jeremy is the star of this book.  Harper does a good job of dropping crumbs about him here and there, and leaving us tearing up the pages for the next one.  And the big reveal about his past did not disappoint.  His tortured soul called to me from the pages of the book and I was rooting for him to find his happy ending.  Not only did Harper do a great job with the build up to Jeremy’s back story, but she developed his character really well.  He was well rounded, thoughtful, respectful, and a perfect balance for Sarah.  While they may have thought they were rushing their relationship, I thought it came off very natural and realistic.  Also, their chemistry sizzles and burns up the pages.The supporting characters in the story are not lacking either.  It was fun getting to know Billie and Reagan more.  I liked the down to earth addition of Oz.  It was cool to meet some of Reagan’s brothers in Braden and Thom.  Even Jeremy’s friend Becca had something to bring to the table.  I hope that we will see more of these characters in subsequent books in the In You series.  I am not ready to leave this great cast behind.  There is definitely a lot more story to tell and I hope that Kelly Harper continues to tell it. I would recommend this book to all looking for a great, well thought out book!*I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*Shannon, My Secret Book Spot
