The Lost and the Found by Cat Clarke
4.0

So, up until page 385, this book was a solid 3 star read for me.

Then it became 3.5 stars.

Then that last paragraph brought it up to 4.

Reasons are under the spoiler thingy:
SpoilerThe main reason it was a 3 star was because it was SO OBVIOUS that it wasn't really Laurel. And for 385 pages, we had to read about this girl who was obviously-not-Laurel, and no-one suspected a thing.
And it was frustrating.
I mean, it was still a good book, but I spent the whole time waiting for the reveal, and it took 385 pages to happen.
(I was waiting so long that I took note of the page number when it finally did happen).

Once it was confirmed that she was, indeed, not Laurel, I found myself enjoying the book much more.
It's a shame there was only, like, 50 pages left.

And then the last paragraph (not including the 'excerpt') had me in tears.
OH MY GOSH JUST LET ME CRY
