Sometimes you have to lose yourself to find where you truly belong . . .

Most girls would kill to spend months traveling around Europe after college graduation with no responsibility, no parents, and no-limit credit cards. Kelsey Summers is no exception. She's having the time of her life . . . or that's what she keeps telling herself.

It's a lonely business trying to find out who you are, especially when you're afraid you won't like what you discover. No amount of drinking or dancing can chase away Kelsey's loneliness, but maybe Jackson Hunt can. After a few chance meetings, he convinces her to take a journey of adventure instead of alcohol. With each new city and experience, Kelsey's mind becomes a little clearer and her heart a little less hers. Jackson helps her unravel her own dreams and desires. But the more she learns about herself, the more Kelsey realizes how little she knows about Jackson.

I anticipated reading Finding It quickly, diving deep into the lives of the characters that Cora Carmack created. However, quickly turned into slowly. Slowly turning page after page, hoping, wishing, that the story of Kelsey and Hunt would never end. Wanting so desperately for Cora to surprise me, the reader, with many more books on the horizon of Kelsey and Hunt's lives.

Kelsey has traveled out of the country. Far away from home, from parents that she no longer feels has her best interest at heart. Looking for adventure in all the wrong places. Looking for ways to mask the heartache, the regret, the secrets. Living a life that only looks great on the outside, while the inside silently aches. When Kelsey least expects it, Hunt walks into her life, slowly. But at such a pace that they both quickly realize that an attraction is there that can't be ignored.

Cora Carmack's works started with Losing It, Faking It, Keeping Her, and now the best of them all, Finding It. Finding It was filled with a deeper connection to emotions and a yearning of finding purpose in life. A purpose that is so hard to captured when it feels as if the world is against you. Cora weaves her words with figurative language that provides the reader with the feeling that they are the "third wheel," an outsider looking in on lives that are filled with adventure, love and secrets that create turning points in life. I was captured with Losing It and Faking It, but Finding It has taken my commitment to literature and authors to a whole new level. I received a copy of Finding It from publisher William Morrow, however when I found out that there were specially, signed copies at Target, I was there on the day it released, hoping to get my signed copy and the extra introduction. I got the last of 3 copies and a sweet friend will be able to enjoy my extra copy. Cora, I can't wait for your next book. Keep the awesome writing coming. Your writing is truly putting the "New" in Adult fiction on the charts!
