Book Synopsis:
What do you do when someone takes advantage of your greatest weakness?
When Laura wakes up after her office Christmas party and sees a man’s shirt on the floor, she is horrified. But this is no ordinary one-night-stand regret.
Laura suffers from severe face-blindness, a condition that means she is completely unable to identify and remember faces. So the man she spent all night dancing with and kissing – the man she thought she’d brought home – was ‘Pink Shirt’.
But the shirt on her floor is blue.
And now Laura must go to work every day, and face the man who took advantage of her condition. The man she has no way of recognising.
She doesn’t know who he is . . . but she’ll make him pay.
My Review:
I was a huge fan of Emma Curtis’s first book, One Little Mistake, so was very excited and a little nervous to read her second offering. I needn’t have worried as When I find you is just as good, if not better than her first book!
The story is told from the point of view of Laura and Rebecca her boss. When it first switched to Rebecca I did find it very intriguing and immediately wondered why? Rebecca isn’t a particularly likeable character, being quite mean to Laura at times so I was very curious as to why her story was being told. Laura is a very likeable, but niave character that I felt a lot of empathy for. Face blindness must be a very difficult thing to live with. I am very short sighted and struggle to see distinguishing features without my glasses so I can only imagine how it must be to have that all the time. Her coping strategies were very poignant to read about and I found it very interesting to learn about the little differences in people that Laura uses to identify people. There was something about Laura that I wasn’t completely sure of as some parts of her narrative didn’t ring true. Why for example did she refused to let her work colleagues know about her condition when surely that would have helped her?
When I find you is quite a fast paced, intriguing novel that I raced through in a couple of days. The story is perfectly paced with little snippets of the truth coming out at intervals, leaving the reader with plenty of time to piece together the clues themselves. There were lots of twists and turns which kept me guessing and reading as I wanted to work out what was happening!
This is Emma Curtis’s second book and I very much look forward to reading more from her in the future. Huge thanks to the Cater and Transworld publishers for my copy of this book and for inviting me onto the blog tour.
