"The Book of Lost and Found" centers on Kate, who seeks information about her mother, particularly why her mother was abandoned as a baby and who her biological parent were, and takes us through the lives of related characters as they confront difficulties in life.
Several aspects of this book had been done before or were cliches. (For example, Oliver is described as being wealthy and haughty yet gorgeous -- Mr. Darcy, anyone?) In spite of this, the plot was not so obvious or predictable! I enjoyed it.
enjoyed this! submitted by smgop on July 25, 2016, 7:55pm I enjoyed this book very much... the characters had great depth. Unfortunately, the book ended somewhat abruptly, after a long build-up... and left me a bit disappointed except for a short epilogue that somewhat wrapped it up. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book, though.
