This is an excellent book with a good hook to draw you into the book. The main protagonist, as the result of an accident cannot remember things for more than a day so each morning when she wakes up she has to create all new memories. She relies on the man she is living with who says he is her husband to help her though vertain things begin not to add up. The author has created an interesting concept to play with and has carried the scenario out beautifully.
Wow. Just wow! What a page turner. I was hooked from the very first sentence. It was really hard to put this book down. Very engaging tale about the loss of memories and dealing with it. Has lots of twists. Can't wait to see the movie.

Very engaging beginning, then the story fizzled for me, as it became a little predictable for me.
I thought if the book was a little shorter it would have had a bigger bang for for me.
I would try future books by this author.

A real page turner, keeps you guessing.
I reluctantly gave this a 3 because it started out promising and it was an intriguing idea. But the book got very repetitious in the middle where the main character was just asking questions about her past, getting lied to and then finding a clue which exposed the lie. I forced myself to finish it to see what the actual problem was but was disappointed in the ending. Oh well - all books can't appeal to everyone.
