Finding Jake - my review

This was a gripping read. As soon as I started I just had to finish it.

Simon is a stay at home dad to his two kids Jake and Laney. When he gets a text saying there is a shooting at his kids school his world is torn apart. We read this story through Simons point of view with alternating chapters going back and forth from past to present. We read of the turmoil Simon goes through with his insecurities about rearing his son.
There is so much more to this story. I'm really glad I didn't read any spoilers so the twists weren't predictable. 

If I had one complaint it would be that I didn't really connect with Rachel. Having said that this was a really great well written psychological suspenseful story. Well done to the author on his debut novel.
