~ Excerpt
~
Later that night Knox takes me to
bed. He helps me rid myself of clothes and I do the same to him. We climb into
his bed and lie facing each other. Knox pulls me closer to him and puts my arms
around his neck. I cradle him to my chest, content in this moment.
“I’m falling hard, Jas.” Knox says
with so much emotion in his voice it makes me want to be a girly girl and cry.
My heartbeat picks up. I run my hand
through his hair, comforting him. “Me too.”
“I’m still trying to find my way out
of this nightmare I’ve been living in.” Knox sighs deeply.
“I’m still trying to find my way in
life.” I place a finger under Knox’s chin and tilt his head up. What I see in
his eyes is like a mirror of my own. “We’re both lost. We’re trying to find our
way and we’re working on finding us.”
Knox’s breath hitches before he
crashes his mouth to mine. “We’re finding us.”
I bite down on my bottom lip and Knox
reaches up and releases it with his thumb before he kisses it. Something in
this moment changes between us. We both admitted that we are finding us,
finding our way to be with each other. This road is going to be bumpy as hell
but it will be worth all the damage once we get to the other side. I
hope.

~ Review ~
Finding Us was my first read
from Megan Smith…..yes I have her other books sitting pretty on my kindle but I
just haven’t gotten to them. There was
just something about this cover that sucked me and I just needed to read
it. I am so glad that I did.
Jasmine has left her old life
behind to start a life of her own in New York City. Determined to break free from her parents
hold, it’s just her and best friend Summer making a go of it. It’s
not until Summer meets her boyfriend Rex that we are introduced to Knox
Mitchell.
Knox just about knocked me out!
I looked forward to the end of each chapter to just get a little bit deeper
inside his head. You could tell he was
conflicted between his head and his heart but I enjoyed taking his journey see
which one would win out.
There were a few twists and turns
in the story. Some I saw coming and some
I did not. Secrets are revealed and
honestly I would have liked a little more angst and emotion. Jasmines acceptance of everything was not
genuine enough for me. I understand the “love
conquers all” theory and I would have been okay with it if it wasn’t resolved
so quickly.
That being said, aside from
that I truly enjoyed the journey with Jasmine and Knox and loved being
introduced to the close knit group of friends that Knox has. I am hoping that we may get to see more inside
the lives of Cade and Jeremy and soon.
