If eighteen year old me could ask twenty-three year old me what his life would be like, I'd tell him to stay in college. Life is not what I thought it would be. 
 As Forever My Girl's prequel, Finding My Way gives readers the full story of Liam's point of view from high school, college, and his music career. As the star quarterback and town golden boy, Liam is expected to make certain choices about his future. But as his senior year progresses and his decisions come due, Liam begins to feel overwhelmed by the pressure to perform and follow his father's plan. His reaction to that pressure changes his course for the next ten years as he transitions from Liam Westbury to Liam Page. 
 It was one thing to read the confusion and frustration Liam felt as he tried to figure out what he wanted to do beyond high school. It was an entirely different feeling knowing exactly what was going on back in Beaumont the whole time. There were times I wanted to shake Liam for the way he handled things, and other times I was smiling alongside his successes. 
 FINDING MY WAY gave more insight to Liam's experiences than readers have gotten from all the other books in the series combined. There was just more detail to the story than can fit in flashbacks and asides in the other novels. 
 I loved watching his relationship with his grandma develop, as well as the beginnings of 4225 West and his relationship with Sam. Josie plays a role only in the first part of the book, as this truly is Liam's point of view and when he leaves Beaumont behind him, her voice is gone too. I missed her, but the insight from this time period was worth that missing voice. (Besides, we know where she is and what's going on with her.) 
 This is an excellent companion to FOREVER MY GIRL, filling in the gaps and answering questions. When I finished this, I felt like I needed to re-read FMG right away because the transition to the early events was so natural. It was a great example of the overwhelming feelings that hit as high school comes to an end and real life looms, especially when it seems no one understands.
