A woman washes up on a beach, with no idea who she was or how she got there. Retrograde amnesia was what the Doctor’s told her. Amnesia which was most likely caused by trauma. When a man shows up and claims he is her boyfriend, everyone is relieved. The woman with no name now has one-she is Mia James.

When Mia gets home, she has no recollection of living there. People/friends are happy to see her, and her boyfriend is attentive, but Mia still is uneasy. Imagine how strange and unsettling it must be. To have no memory of your life or people in your life. Everyone knows you and has stories about you, shared memories, but you have no memory of them.

As Mia begins to adjust, she learns that there are those in her life with secrets. Those who like that Mia does not remember the past. Those who hope she does not regain her memory.

This was a fast read which quite a few twists and turns. I listened to the audiobook, and it made for interesting reading/listening. This book was a great escape! I quite enjoy escapism reading (who doesn’t). This was an entertaining fast paced ride. This book kept my attention, had me invested in wanting to know how things were going to end and wondering if Mia would ever get her memory back.

Boland doesn’t disappoint.

Thank you to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
