How can you fight for a life you can’t remember?
One moment I was just living my life, finding my way in the world. The next I woke up in a hospital bed with years of my life missing.
The man by my side – Rob, my husband – looks familiar, but I can’t remember marrying him. I can’t remember our life together. Most haunting of all: I can’t remember anything about the last five years.
Rob keeps telling me that everything will be fine, that my memories will return, but something feels… wrong. Why does our flat feel so unfamiliar? Why does he flinch when I ask questions? Why are none of my friends and family in touch?
The more I try to piece my life back together, the more I question everything – even myself. Who is Rob, really? And can I trust him? More importantly, can I trust myself? A compulsive and obsessive read that will have you saying ‘just one more chapter!’ Perfect for fans of Before I Go To Sleep and Alice Feeney

My heart! This book was so excellent, albeit difficult to read at times due to emotionally heavy content. I am still recovering! I love books that are deeply emotional, plots that touch a part of your soul, characters that leave such an impression that you find yourself thinking about them and wondering if they’re okay – even when you’re not reading. This book was all that, and more.
Beth wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there and soon discovers she has no memory of the last five years of her life. She’s staring at a man she doesn’t recognize who is supposed to be her husband. She has to return to a home she doesn’t remember and a life she didn’t know she had. Nothing is familiar. Nothing makes sense… and certain things aren’t adding up.
Ugh, I could cry all over again just thinking about it! I immediately loved Beth, and my heart ached for what she was going through. There were so many moments where I wanted to scream into the pages of this book to protect her, warn her, and help her figure out what she wasn’t seeing.
I definitely recommend this book. It reads so fast simply because you won’t be able to put it down! You’ll cry, you’ll get angry, you have chills run down your spine! My only “complaint,” if you can call it that, is that I wanted more from the ending. Everything came together so quickly in the end, and my aching heart needed a slower pace with lots of reassurance and time to heal.
