I have been wanting to try out author, Hallie Ephron ever since I saw her first novel, Never Tell a Lie. I still had not read this book but decided to start with Come and Find Me. I have to say that while, I did like this novel, it was like I kept waiting for it to pick up and go full speed. It never really got there for me. Though, I did find Diana’s panic attacks intriguing. Not so much that she had them but what she experienced, when she had one. I have never really experienced someone having one as intense as Diana does. Like the first time that Diana went to get into her car for the first time in a long time and drive. She had barely gotten half way down the drive way before she drove back in her garage, parked the car, and ran and hide under a table for several hours. While, there was a surprise that came in the last third of the story, as I got to thinking about it after, it was not really such a surprise. I knew something was up and was not really what it was until it appeared. Overall, I thought this was an alright book but I still do plan to check out Never Tell a Lie.
