Blog Tour: Finding My Way by Megan Keith

Welcome to our stop on the Finding My Way blog tour. This is the debut novel of Australian Author Megan Keith, so Tami was particularly looking forward to reading and promoting this one. It is a gorgeous story about how finding love is never straight forward, and finding our way can be tougher than we thought.

Emma is in the final stages of recovery from the end of a long term relationship. A series of events force her to realise that it is time to move on from Josh and after 11 months she opens her mind to the prospect of a future full of possibilities. It is amazing how mindset can impact so much about a person - once Emma makes the active decision to begin living her life again, there is a noticeable change in the way she carries herself and interacts with others. As a consequence she catches the eye of two very different men:
Seth, the gorgeous, sensitive IT guy at work, who Emma has had a bit of crush on is captivated by her smile one morning. From there he begins to notice Emma and the two tentatively start to explore a relationship with each other.
Nick, the sexy, outspoken player from the kiosk at the train station. He's been watching Emma as she moves through the train station each morning for some time and notices something different about her the morning after her decision to move on. The two strike up a 'friendship' - which is filled with sexual tension.
All three characters are grappling with life, love and what they want from both. Emma is unsettled at work and not really clear about what her career path will be. She's also confused about the things she is feeling for Seth and Nick - two very different men and confused about what they want from her. Nick is a serious player: he doesn't do relationships. Until he meets Em and he realises she's too good for a 'hook up'. He has dreams of being a successful DJ, travelling the world and is battling with his father's disappointment, watching his friends settle down and the feelings he is developing for Em, despite them both agreeing to be 'friends'. While slightly more settled, Seth is dealing with his own insecurities. Frustrated with his house mates, lonely, and while satisfied at work for the moment he wants to do more with his qualification and find someone to settle down with.
Finding My Way is told from three points of view: Emma, Seth and Nick. I really liked how we got to see scenes from the different perspectives. So many times I wished the characters would just tell each other what they were thinking. A whole lot of their frustrations could have been resolved if they had just communicated clearly with each other! But having said that, I couldn't help but chuckle at how realistic their interactions were. So often people make assumptions about what others want, without checking their perception, and more often than not they get it wrong.
Sometimes taking a risk requires more courage than you thought you had. Even with the encouragement of her best friend Kat, Emma doesn't quite manage to take a leap when she could. Despite her caution, Emma does manage to stay true to herself and she does make tough decisions. Her experiences with Seth and Nick are both wonderful and heartbreaking - and it's not till the very end that you learn how things will play out for the three of them. I really enjoyed Finding My Way . There is another book to follow that I will be watching for.
