Excellent story line which was gripping from start to finish. Great characters. I would highly recommend this book.

I was given an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest and independent review.
Whilst the premise of the book was good, the telling of the story was a bit repetitive and laborious. I think the book could have been much shorter and more effective. Although the final part of the book was much better and had a good pace. I also liked the characters, who were well written.
Overall 3 stars

I was intrigued by the fabulous cover of this book, but unfortunately I struggled to get into this one

This was a different take on the many psychological thrillers that are being written ten fold since Gone Girl pushed the genre to the fore front of fiction books. Our lead female has a handicap that I wouldn't want even on my best day. It had plenty twists and turns and kept me guessing as to the bad guy was. Enjoyed reading this one and would pick up more by Emma Curtis in the future.

When I Find You is a psychological thriller, based on an intriguing concept. I thought it started a bit slow and I wasn't sure if I would finish it. However it did seem to move up a gear and there was a point, maybe about three quarters way through when I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.
A well-written and unpredictable read, I'd definitely recommend this book and will be looking out for the next offering from Emma Curtis.

Really enjoyed her last book so was looking forward to reading this one but I Couldnt seem to get into it, kept trying for a while but eventually had to give up.

I have just read When I Find You.
Laura suffers from face blindness, to give it the correct term, prosopagnosia, something I have never heard off but does exist. Story starts at the office Christmas party when Laura gets off with a guy whose face she cannot remember and he leaves whilst she is in the shower. She cannot put a name to the guy she slept with and he is not making himself known. Laura becomes jittery as she does not like not knowing. Guessing he is a colleague, she sets out to find him using various methods of elimination. There are twists and turns a plenty. Given the characters, I was wrong about who it was. Good unusual thriller. I look forward to Emma Curtis's next book.

Original idea, very well told. The ending didn't quite work for me, hence the 3 star rating but the book held my interest

I was intrigued by the premise of this book. The protagonist, Laura, is a 28-year old living in London and has Prosopagnosia (face blindness), a real disorder. The plot kicks in when she sleeps with a guy from her work who she thought was someone else i.e. she’s been taken advantage of, raped. Most part of the book is set in her workplace and how she tries to figure out who raped her. The story is narrated in Laura’s first person POV, and alternates with Rebecca’s third person POV. Rebecca is Laura’s Boss and the only person in the office who knows about Laura’s condition. Rebecca is also having an affair with her colleague complicating the plot.
This was a fairly readable book and I enjoyed most of it. However I just found the last 30% went from 3rd gear to 5th gear and I struggled to suspend my disbelief. Also personally for me Rebecca’s narrative was less interesting and bogged down the story for me, which is why I’m giving this a 3.5. Overall an intriguing premise using Prosopagnosia, a condition I hadn’t heard about it in a fresh way, that makes the familiar unfamiliar,

Great read, made all the better because it keeps you guessing and an unusual storyline, I'd never heard of face blindness. I definitely had it all wrong who Mr pink shirt was!
Look forward to the author's next one.

Sorry but I could but get into this book at all at this time. I found it too far fetched. I may visit it again sometime in the future.

With the sheer number of psychological thrillers out there, I always greatly admire an author who can come up with an original premise that hasn’t been done a million times before. Such as giving the main character a medical condition that makes them just a little bit unreliable and casts doubt over the events unfolding. We saw it with the agoraphobic protagonist in Finn’s The woman in the Window, or S.J. Watson’s character Christine in Before I Go to Sleep, who had suffered a brain injury and couldn’t form memories. Curtis uses the rare condition prosopagnosia, or face blindness, for her main protagonist Laura, and I admit that when I first started reading I had no idea that this debilitating condition could form the basis for such a riveting story – or where exactly the author was going to lead me. Aren’t those mysteries the best kind?

Laura, a creative ad designer in a successful advertising agency, has managed her condition from her work colleagues, even though she struggles with it on a daily basis. There is nothing wrong with her eyesight, but her brain is unable to interpret facial features, which makes her “face blind”, i.e. unable to tell one face apart from another – even those faces of the people nearest and dearest to her, including her own face in the mirror. She heavily relies on other features, such as hairstyle and colour, mannerisms, clothing etc to be able to tell who people are, but these things are changeable and not always reliable. Social situations are her worst nightmare, such as people approaching her in the street or the train, where the context is missing and she has no reference points to help her identify them. When Laura finds herself in a situation where someone exploits her vulnerability to his advantage, it struck me how debilitating her condition really is! Imagine there is a perpetrator out there somewhere, but you are unable to recognise him, even if he sits next to you on the train, chats to you in the canteen, or shows up at a dinner party. It came as no surprise to me that Laura became anxious and neurotic, living in constant fear and suspicion.

Apart from the very original and fascinating concept of face blindness, I found Laura to be an enigmatic and interesting character who courageously fought to overcome her limitations. As Laura shares insights into her daily struggles, it was obvious that Curtis had done her research into the condition, which made for fascinating reading and a story that kept me turning the pages. To turn this into a well-written mystery was an added bonus! I also really enjoyed the two separate POVs in the story – whilst the main part is being told in the first person through Laura’s eyes, her accounts are fleshed out by a third-person account from the perspective of Rebecca, one of Laura’s bosses. I was slightly puzzled at first as two why these two very different women were being chosen to tell the story, but it was perfect!

There are a few well-executed twists in the story which took me by surprise, and the final denouement was satisfying and fitting for this original, character driven story. Overall, I really enjoyed a mystery that stood out from the rest with its intriguing concept, and I look forward to reading more from this author in future.

Oh the twists! I was so convinced I knew exactly who had done it. I was wrong. Which was immensely satisfying as it meant the book did exactly what it set out to do. Clever writing from Emma Curtis - already looking forward to the next one

I got really excited reading this blurb. It sounded really good and I could not wait to get started in it.

Unfortunately, the story quickly became unbelievable and I found it very hard to keep my positive thoughts up.

What drew me to this book was the cover. It looked very promising. It was ok although I could quite easily put it down and come back to it.

I found this book too far fetched to be believable and didn't finish it . And it had sounded so good
