When Evie Hudson wakes in an unfamiliar hospital room, she thinks she’s fresh out of a teenage party with her best friend, Bree. Except, Bree isn’t around anymore and high school was years ago. Evie had just survived the crash that killed her husband, Oliver, whom she can’t remember either. After suffering a traumatic loss of memory, she’s left to connect the dots. But how? Drew, a promising photographer whose chance encounter with Evie unravels the elusive details of her marriage and her husband’s death. As Drew watches Evie stitch the story of her life together, secrets emerge that might shatter both of their worlds. This tangled second-chance romance leads Evie to question every decision she ever made. This time around, she’s seeing all the things she missed–and the life she gets to choose…again.
I think this book is best to go into blind – it has a storyline that is so bingeable and chapters that are super short you’ll want to turn the page and find out what’s happening next! This was a lot deeper than I thought it would be and at times it was a hard read, but I really enjoyed it. I think my main complaint was that throughout the whole story, it seemed like everyone hated her by the way they acted, but then once she was closer to getting her memories back, everyone instantly switched and treated her like the victim. I was waiting for the shoe to drop and to find out this big betrayal that Evie did, but it was just her being manipulated and a victim in an emotionally abusive relationship. This book was emotional and sweet to read! I loved the dual timeline and seeing Evie and Drew’s relationship in the past.
I rated this novel four stars. My biggest issue is with the ending. The convergence of love story and mystery just didn’t feel natural or right. It came out of left field and yes I love a good plot twist but this is absolutely not a thriller. UGH. The frustration. The characters are fantastic and the writing is beautiful. Still a worthy read, I just wish there was more closure and less bombshells.
