Finding Home

Irin 

Finding Home by Kate Field was a contemporary take on a well-known lesson ~ “Kindness always goes a long way.” Reading this novel was a lovely ride from beginning to end. Mim’s story was so realistically written; it echoed the struggles of underprivileged people in the best way possible. In just 300 pages, I learned so much about the power of kindness and love. I’ll keep the messages of Finding Home locked in my heart forever. 💜

Books set at the backdrop of a scenic location never fail to uplift my mood. I feel the same way about Finding Home! I was (fictionally 😭) transported to Devonshire and I loved being there! The author plotted down the storyline in such a simple yet beautiful manner. I couldn’t help but be drawn towards how Mim crafted a new life in Devon. The friendships, the community spirit, the generosity of people, and the implementation of the found-family trope in the book were everything I needed right now.

Mim was such a strong protagonist. Her selfless nature and independent attitude made me fall in love with her instantly! Seeing her grow throughout the story was just the best thing ever. Mim’s journey towards self-discovery was the highlight of reading Finding Home for me. I loved how she didn’t shy away from being brutally honest and sugarcoat situations at all. She was judgmental at times about the Howards’ posh life, which I realized was necessary for the story at the end. When people are bought up without privileges, they grow up with a different belief system too. I really appreciated how the author bought up the topic of how external appearances can’t define the real nature of a person.

Even though the romance wasn’t the central focus of the book, it was very sweet and thoughtfully written. Corin was the perfect addition to Mim’s life ~ I loved their conversations and moments together. The side characters were really charming too! Bea, Bill, and Lia won my heart.

I felt like the story was a bit slow at the beginning, which is why I rated the book with 4.75 ⭐ Other than that, everything about the book was admirable.
