I received this book to give an honest review.
I like this kind of book the author always starts off with what "If" could mean.
"If -I were a better person, if-I were rich and so forth. That one little word can take you places or make you crazy...."
How true is that when you really think about that. In this story of If...Lost or Found we are with Sabrina who works hard to get her degree in Meteorology. We see the choices that Sabrina makes from the beginning. All choices led to something in her life. When she meets Ethan she doesn't know much about him but we slowly start seeing his true colors will she find out too late?
It really does have you think what if you did this instead of that what would be the outcome. I love how each book has a new character and a new story with it.
The author did a great job with this novella that you don't end with questions but you feel everything was resolved.
At the end I am glad who Sabrina ended up becoming and the happiness she found.

Review: If...: Lost or Found by Jackie Mae
Here is a blurb of what the book is about. It is a story about a girl named Sabrina who travels abroad for 4 long years. She had promised her parents she would only be gone for one year.
This book raises a lot If questions. The word If could mean different things to different people. For example If- I were a better person. If- I were rich, thinner, or prettier. If - I were male or female, shorter or taller. If- I had been born to a different set of parents. If- I had more friends. If- I had a better job. That one little word can take you places or make you crazy.
The kindle version of this book has 72 pages. It also has 12 chapters. The chapters are done in the number chapter format. The chapters are short.
I really enjoyed this book. It has taught me you can't be afraid of life... you should embrace it. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Sabrina had went on a journey to find herself only to realize that she did not and returned home. She was ready to reunite with her parents but her life experiences some major changes. She must learn who she is and what she wants out of life as well as how to work for it.
Ethan, a powerful business man, appears in her life she is swept into a spotlight that she does not want. She soon learns that it comes with consequences she may not want either. But what happens when tragedy strikes yet again will she persevere or will she succumb to the effects? Find out by reading the book.
The book is very well written with well developed characters. Jackie Mae writes a story that you are pulled into right away. I read it in one setting and I am sure you will too. We need more stories like this in our world today. While there is tragedy there can also be hope.

What a wonderful story about someone finding their way in the world. I just love stories about strong women that overcome hardships to find their happy place. The main character, Sabrina, was so engaging, that I found myself wanting to know even more about her and her childhood. This is a beautiful story told about the different decisions we make and the infinite questions of how things would have turned out if we had made another choice.
I believe this story about finding yourself, and overcoming grief, and life's obstacles is relatable to everyone. A part of Sabrina will speak to all readers. I highly recommend for a quick, satisfying read.
