“She killed a part of me – the part which trusts when someone tells you they love you, and allows you to trust that person with your heart.”
Ness and Evan return to Leeds from Europe, and begin their new life together. But the past Evan has buried for years resurfaces and threatens their future.
After fifteen years, Evan doesn’t want any contact with the woman who abandoned him, but is unwillingly pulled into his mother’s life by Lucy.
Feeling pushed aside by Ness’s focus on her studies and new friends, Evan can’t confide in Ness about what’s happening. This return to his old behavior adds more distance to their relationship. When Ness’s new friend Ollie picks up the pieces because Evan is away, Evan’s insecurities threaten their relationship further.
Ness becomes aware of Evan’s situation, and she questions whether he will ever be able to break his ties to those dragging him down. If he can’t put himself first, and live the life he wants, she is unable to see how their relationship could work. In return, Evan struggles with Ness’s inability to get close to people, and her distance pushes him further away.
The decision about the future of the relationship is taken out of their hands - by something that could end things between Ness and Evan forever…

Review
Finding Evan takes off immediately after Because of Lucy.
Evan and Ness are blissfully happy after their summer in Europe, but they
return to what becomes a new beginning. Ness is thrown into difficult studies
and Evan begins to feel as though he’s slowly slipping out of her life. He fights
back in true Evan style, making me fall for him all over again.
But when something happens to turn his world upside down,
Evan’s fight falters. Retreating inside himself, he risks losing everything.
What I love about this story is that Evan and Ness are so
real. Their relationship goes through the struggles every young couple faces. Lisa
Swallow always manages to create the most memorable, believable and engaging characters,
and Evan and Ness have wriggled into my heart in the best way! My heart aches
for them, laughs with them, and cheers them on. I always felt so much for Evan
and his tender heart, and what he had to face. I could not put the book down
until everything was resolved, and I absolutely loved the ending!
