Books like I found you by Lisa Jewell
In a windswept British seaside town, single‑mom Alice Lake finds a man appearing on her beach—no name, no jacket, and no memory of how he arrived. Against her better judgment, she invites him inside.
Meanwhile, twenty‑one‑year‑old Lily Monrose, newly married, is left alone in a foreign city when her husband fails to return from work one night and the police reveal that he never existed.
The story unfolds with the memories of nineteen‑year‑old teenagers Gray and Kirsty, who during a family holiday in the same seaside town, meet a mysterious young man who watches over Kirsty with unsettling protectiveness. Their summer experience foreshadows the tangled truths that tie all three stories together in a suspenseful exploration of identity and memory.
