Finders Keepers, Sarah Adler (Review by Sara D’Onofrio)

Rating: 5.0/5 Stars

“I understand now that love, when it’s real, doesn’t require you to be someone different. It just makes you even more solidly yourself.” I am devastated zis book is done, and I want zee characters to be real, and I miss zem already. Read this book and that sentence will make so much more sense to you and I promise it will be worth it. I laughed out loud. I was emotionally invested. My heart, quite literally, swooned on more than one occasion. This Is easily my favorite book of the month, and I started it yesterday thinking I would finish it as my first book for next month. Well, jokes on me, I finished it in 24 hours. Not only was I invested by chapter 2, but I instantly felt connected to the characters. The writing style was so smooth and captivating that I would look up and be 30 pages further than I swear I just was two minutes ago. The banter, oh the sweet, sweet banter. It was funny, so witty, but also so ridiculously heartwarming at the exact same time. I don’t typically love third act break-ups, but this one fit so well with the storyline and I think it was necessary to make the ending that much more special. I also thought that I was most likely going to be disappointed in whatever the “treasure” turned out to be. Usually, when the build up is the entire book, it doesn’t always feel as climactic, but I was so wrong. It was perfect. The most perfect ending the author could have given these characters. The letters were extremely well done, and I felt like I was in the middle of true, real love story. I think I legitimately forgot I was reading for a minute. Oh, and there were so many memorable quotes. Lines where I would stop, smile, and read it again because I loved it so much. Well done, Sarah Adler!!
