A beautiful debut novel about young love and finding your way.
You dont have to be missing to be lost
Its a hot summer in the city and the nation is gripped by the disappearance of London student Fate Jones.
But 25-year-old Fitz has a different blonde girl on his mind: his beloved girlfriend Saffy is slipping slowly back into the grasp of an eating disorder. Struggling under the weight of her self-doubt and self-hatred, Saffy becomes increasingly lost and Fitz finds himself unable to help. As Saffys behaviour grows more dangerous, he does the only thing he can think of he calls for help and she is taken away.
Petrified at the prospect of another stay in Happy Blossoms, a residential treatment centre, Saffy runs. In London, Fitz realises too late that he is the only one who can help her and sets off in a desperate bid to find her. Meanwhile the medias obsession with the search for Fate Jones intensifies. Her image is everywhere, her last days suddenly public property. But how much does anyone really know about the girl on the poster
Someday Find Me is a shocking and thought-provoking love story. Told through the charming, funny and anguished voices of the two young lovers, it is a novel about how you find your way when you dont know who you really are.
From the Amazon 5* reviews:
This book had me enchanted from the start
What a book - without a doubt this is one of the best debut novels that l have ever read
This is a stunning debut - highly recommended
A shocking and thought-provoking love story. This is a MUST read book, a real page turner, I can't recommend it highly enough!!
This isn't an idealistic love story, it's an understanding of how hard and scary life can be; how true love is less about finding someone who shelters you from the world, than having a partner who will stand and be frightened of it with you. A truly great read
