Welcome Back, Booklovers! I don't always read YA Thriller but something about I Will Find You Again intrigued me. Simon & Schuster reached out to me asking me if I wanted to cover it for WOC Read and I agreed unsure of what to expect.
In the Long Island town of Meadowlark lives Chase Ohara, a young Asian girl at the top of her class, destined for big things. But behind the perfect façade of the model minority in a very white Long Island town, is a girl who is popping pills to deal with the pressure.
This book is pitched as a thriller but to me it was more of a contemporary drama dealing with a young woman who is slowly unraveling after the loss of her best friend/girlfriend Lia. I assumed this would be the story of searching for a missing girl but we already know what happened to Lia. Instead Chase is trying to retrace her steps and piece together the memories of the last few months to figure out what caused Lia's death. Was Lia secretly struggling in silence? Was it an accident? Was one of her classmates responsible for Lia's death?
