A woman's memory is wiped clean every night while she sleeps, after having a nasty accident years ago. She wakes up every morning next to her husband, whom she doesn't remember, and believing herself to be years younger.

The suspense builds when she realizes something isn't quite right about her husband. I was drawn in from the beginning, but I figured out what was go ...more

Generally you have no consistent memory of anything that happened since your early childhood, but you seem to process new memories in a way I have never come across before. If I left this room now and returned in two minutes, most people with anterograde amnesia would not remember having met me at all, certainly not today.

Decent book, good story line; the pages kept flying. I did hit a snag in the middle of the book where I felt like it was getting tedious but it was only a chapter or two before it switched gears. And there was one very small section in the book that I didn't think fit at all (the bathroom scene of her by herself at home, toward the end). But it was an entertaining read so 3 stars it is.

This book was a pleasant surprise! It kept me guessing for a good long while. Then I got interested learning more about some of the real people who inspired the main character (mentioned in the author's notes at the end of the book) and that was even more fascinating - though incredibly sad. This is a book you can read quickly - good for when you're traveling.

This was an interesting read. I liked the premise and the fact that Christine couldn't remember anything for very long led to a lot of twists and turns for the reader. There were a few things that didn't quite get wrapped up, but I liked it.
