"Five life-changing, extremely satisfied stars." Finding Eden is likely the best book I've read in 2015, in terms of feelings. Oh the feels I got from this book. After finishing it, my heart is full. I should probably include Becoming Calder when I say that Finding Eden may be my favorite book that I've read this year. Becoming Calder is part 1 and is required for reading part 2, Finding Eden. 
 Mia Sheridan certainly has a way of ripping my heart out of my chest, stomping on it, breaking it into a million pieces, and then scooping them up and putting my heart back together better than it was to begin with. These books were a very emotional read but beyond worth it. 
 Eden and Calder's story was absolutely beautiful in a heart wrenching way. They met as children in a secluded cult life and along with Calder's best friend Xander, they survived the unthinkable and made it out by nothing short of a miracle and tons of luck. The characters in this story (part 1 and 2) were so well written. The development of both Calder and Eden as they grew up and as they dealt with the horrors in their lives was captivating. I loved how strong Eden was and that she never just gave up or gave in. Xander was such a huge part of this whole story. I absolutely adored him and all he represented. There were several great characters introduced in Finding Eden. This book really just overwhelmed me with emotion. 
 Overall I give Finding Eden 6+ stars. As a set with Becoming Calder, they are definitely over 5 stars and I would highly recommended them to anyone looking for a powerful emotional read that will take you from heart breaking to heart warming and leave you better than you started.
