I have to start this review by praising my best friend in the whole wide world, G. Not only is she smart, hilarious, and always willing to put up with my many moods, but she also gives me the best books to read! I gave her the first two Delirium books (plus the Delirium short stories book), and she gave me this and two other Jenny B. Jones books. I can't wait to start the other ones.

Usually I am the biggest opponent of Christian literature. I am Catholic and proud of it, but I don't like my religion diminishing my literature. Often in Christian lit, the religious aspect takes over the story, making cheesy, overblown, and something I don't want to read. I think one of the trickiest things a writer can do is take a strong stance on God in their work. Faith is easy enough, but when you get specifically into God it gets hard. I was impressed with how Jenny B. Jones has worked it in.

This is not just Christian lit. This is a great young adult read. It's fun and witty and has everything you need for a lazy Saturday afternoon. Finley is a kickass narrator. She is strong and witty and stubborn and so realistically flawed. She's a girl trying to hold her life together, trying to find God again. I can sympathize with her on that. It's easy to lose Him. She lost her older brother and is still working through that grief, deciding to be a foreign exchange student in the Irish town he did it at. I loved the Ireland setting. I read a review that said it was necessary and the whole story could've just occurred at home, and I was ready to slap said reviewer. I do like how going away to Ireland did not magically solve her problems. Her grief came with her, and unlike many other stories that chose to go the other route, this is true to life. Finley's problems followed her to Ireland.

Beckett Rush is probably one of the most swoon-worthy boys I've ever encountered in YA. He ranks up there with Dexter from This Lullaby and Augustus in The Fault in Our Stars. He was just so... *annoying fan girl sigh* I tried to avoid mental Twilight comparisons because that would've diminished his hotness. Not a big Robert Pattinson fan. Beckett and Finley just worked well together. Their back and forth banter was hilarious and often had me chuckling and obsessively rereading the best lines. They were good together, but I again like how Jones kept it real and didn't have love solve all of Finley's problems because it couldn't and it can't. Beckett offers excellent support to Finley and is awesome for caring so much, but ultimately the solution to Finley's grief and anger is not with him. It's with God.

There You'll Find Me is everything I never thought Christian literature could be: sharp, funny, insightful, and true to what life really is. I totally recommend! I'm eager to delve into the other two Jenny B. Jones books my friend lent me. Shout out to G for her awesome recommendation.
