Who Am I?
Who is Freya? In the aftermath of her accident, she has no recollection of her past, or even her relationships. Even more alarming to those around her is that her personality appears to have changed beyond recognition. When she returns home from hospital to a life as a millionaire's wife living on the French Riviera, she faces the real challenges of dealing with her memory loss and trying to fit into what feels like an alien world.
Her beautiful home, affluent lifestyle and rich friends are not enough to compensate for Freya's loneliness. She soon discovers her husband is having an affair. Plus, an unsavoury character who claims to be a former lover shows up in her life, causing more mayhem. Freya and others begin to question her sanity after a series of events, which makes her wonder if amnesia is the only problem she's got.

good
I can’t imagine how Freya feels losing her memory, this kept my attention with me wondering what would happen next. It is worth a read.

A Perfect Vacation Read
This is the kind of book I would take on holiday for the perfect poolside read in the sun (as the wind and rains beats down here in Ireland!). A great vacation novel hooks you quickly. You don’t want to wade through dense exposition or complicated timelines when you’re half-distracted by waves, sun, or travel plans. The story should pull you in within the first few pages, just like this one does.
Set in the French Riviera, the story focuses on thirty-three-year-old Freya, who has just been discharged from hospital, after recovering from a car crash that left her with severe memory loss. She does not remember her life before the accident, or even who she was before it.
We re-learn, alongside Freya, of her wealthy lifestyle, her rich and materialistic friends, and the fact she is married to Carter, a man who is twice her age. The author describes the life of luxury that they live in, with Carter being the chairman of the local yacht club, and who expects his wife to maintain their superficial image to its pretentious members.
The author has a clever way of expressing Freya's opulent lifestyle, with a sense of indulgence that is easy to admire, while also making it feel disingenuous and shallow. The way Freya clashes with her old life, and the way she used to think and be, is refreshing and enlightening - I'm naturally rooting for her to learn about the new 'real' Freya more as the story progresses.
It quickly becomes apparent that something is amiss however, as we learn that Carter is having an affair with his gold-digging PA called Monique. Freya also had a lover before her accident, an ex-employee called Mirielles, who is intent on causing trouble for her. The book reads like a mysterious love affair (minus the spice), where everyone in Freya's life becomes a suspect of sorts. We know the husband is up to no good, but we are also suspicious of everyone else: who are they? As much as Freya is wondering who is she?
What makes this an easy read is the fact there are no complicated plots, huge casts of characters, or dense language that can make reading feel like work. It is straightforward in structure, clear in writing style, easy to pick up and put down, and If you skip a day, you shouldn’t feel lost.
Without revealing any spoilers, I did find the ending a little predictable but that's what made it satisfying - I felt somewhat smug that I saw it coming! It easily gets 4.5 stars from me, and I would definitely recommend it as a book to indulge in, and switch off with for a couple of evenings.

“Who Am I?” is a novel by Jane Reid, whose title perfectly captures the heart of the story. It follows Freya as she tries to rediscover her identity after an accident while also facing the complicated world her past choices created. The story beautifully explores how her ‘new self’ seems to be the complete opposite of who she was before and how difficult yet powerful that transformation can be.
My favorite character is definitely Freya herself, along with her angel-in-need, Gabriel. They both are very well-written. I only wish there had been even more interactions between them, especially more of Gabriel’s quotes. Their dynamic is a wonderful reminder that, even in real life, a person can find their way back to the right path when guided by kindness, patience, and loving support. I also admire Rosalyn meeting Freya, which gave Freya strength to climb out of the dark pit she had fallen into—or perhaps had been thrown into. As Freya herself admits, she was not a good woman before the accident, but she truly changed into someone loving and strong afterward. Her character growth, self-realization, stubborn determination, and emotional journey were some of the best parts of the book.
As for the antagonists—or rather the annoying characters who made the story entertaining—Matisse and Monique were like two peas in a pod, always looking for opportunities to manipulate people’s vulnerabilities. At some point, I even felt a little bad for Carter, though he is ultimately an old man bored with his money, his wife, and his life, searching for new excitement through golf or a girlfriend (mistress). Aria and the Circle felt like a typical gossip club, adding their own layer of drama to the story.
This is one of those books you read, or like one of those Hallmark-style movies you watch, where the ending may feel somewhat predictable, but you still want to keep going until the very last line. I truly enjoyed Freya’s story and her transformation from shallow/selfish person to who she became at the end of the story.
“It IS illusion, Freya, all illusion, which is why it doesn’t pay to take life too seriously. Another great quote comes to mind: How can you prove whether at this moment we are sleeping, and all our thoughts are a dream; or whether we are awake, and talking to one another in the waking state?’”
“It means being aware of when you need to step back from people or situations to recharge. But it is also important to stick up for yourself without feeling guilty. Be your own best friend.”
“Every heart sings a song incomplete until another heart whispers back.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½
Who Am I? is one of those books that quietly unsettles you—and then refuses to let go.
I’ve read other books and watched films where the main character loses their memory after an accident, and the premise has always fascinated me. There’s something deeply unsettling about waking up dependent on other people to tell you who you are. You’re instantly vulnerable to manipulation, forced to trust voices that may or may not have your best interests at heart, and left constantly wondering who is telling the truth and who is rewriting your life for their own convenience. This novel leans fully into that unease, and it does it extremely well.
Freya wakes to a life that looks perfect on the surface: money, beauty, privilege, a glamorous marriage. But the version of Freya we follow doesn’t quite fit the story she’s handed, and that tension drives the entire book. The more she learns, the more you realize that this glittering world is exactly that—glitter. Shiny from a distance, but far more complicated, and far less reassuring, when examined under a microscope.
What I loved most was how disorienting the experience felt. You’re not just watching Freya struggle; you’re struggling alongside her. Every conversation feels slightly off, every relationship comes with a question mark, and you start doubting everyone—sometimes even Freya herself.
The South of France setting deserves a mention. It’s beautifully drawn, sunlit and seductive, and it added an extra layer for me as someone who’s vacationed there. That contrast between idyllic surroundings and psychological unease works brilliantly.
This is the first book I’ve read by Jane C. Reid, and I’m honestly surprised it took me this long to discover her. The writing is sharp without being showy, the pacing keeps the pages turning, and while the ending felt earned, I would have liked just a little more space to sit with the aftermath, which is the only reason this isn’t a full five stars for me.
Thought-provoking, tense, and quietly haunting. I’m fully invested now and will definitely be reading more from this author

I finished Who Am I in one sitting on a Saturday morning. I haven’t done this for a while, thinking I would just take a brief read for one or two hours before my daily task, but what the heck, I kept turning the pages.
The plot keeps me going as it flows. It’s an easy read with an entertaining plot as the readers follow the journey of a woman who has just lost her memories. Going back to a home she doesn’t remember, with a stranger as her husband, she also learns that she was not a pleasant person in her past. The circle she was in and belonged to was superficial, filled to the brim with shallow people who stroked each other's egos and over-the-top appearance. The main character, Freya, can’t even bring herself to restore her hairstyle. She recognizes nothing from her past, including herself.
This book is entertaining. I imagine that while it would make an excellent soap opera or drama, and the plot is not unpredictable, it does a good job in portraying the horror of losing grip of reality. The realization that you don’t even like yourself would take a toll on anyone, and when trusting yourself becomes something that is questionable, too, it would be the horror beyond comprehension. The main character experiences that, plus the fact that no one else believes her. The emotional journey shows satisfying character growth.
The supporting characters play big roles as well. There are satire and humor in how out of touch and artificial the ‘elites’ can be, and sadly, it’s very realistic, as we live in a clown world. Their actions are, unfortunately, believable, from the gossipy housewives to professionals whose service and silence can be bought. People who think money is the answer to everything, and sometimes it is indeed the motivation for many, whether they are being forced to comply or whether selling their souls is also an option.

All is not right in paradise.
Who am I? A question we often ask ourselves, but imagine waking up after an accident and not remembering anything about your past life. This is the experience of Freya, a married woman living in the French Riviera. Life isn’t all bad, as her husband is fabulously wealthy, she enjoys the beautiful weather and setting, but she has changed. Whilst everything appears perfect, all is not right. She apparently had been a bitch, enjoyed a lover and spent all her time on pleasure, beauty salons, and now she realises on a shallow life.
All is not right in paradise, and Jane C R Reid slowly builds the tension as Freya searches for who she was and who she wants to be. It would be easy to lose sympathy for a protagonist who has everything money can buy, but Reid makes you root for Freya in her quest and for her struggles against those who would destroy her.
Easy to read, but with some thought-provoking themes, this is a great holiday read, but maybe not in France. A book to make you happy with your own, more ordinary life!

The author did a good job balancing mystery and emotion, you can feel Freya’s confusion and loneliness. The setting is gorgeous but also kind of eerie. There are plenty of twists. I
think this would make a great movie or series someday.

This novel takes the reader to a community of wealthy English people on the French Riviera. The men play golf and enjoy their yachts, while their much younger wives indulge themselves in spa sessions, shopping sprees, and gossipy lunches. Freya Harrison was part of that group until a car accident resulted in dissociative amnesia. Having forgotten her entire past, she must accustom herself to a husband and group of friends who are strangers to her. Moreover, it appears she has undergone a total personality change. Unfortunately for Freya, her husband Carter has acquired a mistress, and a man with whom she apparently once had a relationship is trying to reconnect with her.
This story premise allows for some tense situations as well as opportunities to show wealthy people at their worst—superficial, self-indulgent, and hypocritical. Freya begins to settle into her luxurious home, but encounters all sorts of troubles, including gaslighting and threats that something she can’t remember will be exposed. Her only friend and supporter is the philosophical maintenance man and chauffeur, Gabriel. When he is forced to leave, Freya becomes a virtual prisoner and slumps into a state of helplessness. Part of the novel’s eventual climax is one of the strangest fight scenes I have ever read.
I must say I enjoyed the details of clothing, food, drink, and décor. There are a couple of definite villains in this story, and several characters come in different shades of grey. Many of their interactions are opportunities for the reader to vicariously enjoy their nastiness, but I thought there were too many of these scenes after the halfway point of the book. The point of view is mainly Freya’s, but it does jump around at times, occasionally in mid-scene, which is a bit jarring. The question of who is really behind Freya’s misfortunes kept me reading, however, and the ending, although not surprising, is appropriate. 3.5 stars, rounded up.

The trouble with losing your memory is that everyone rushes to tell you who you used to be.
In ‘Who Am I?’, Jane C. R. Reid turns that idea into a tense and thought-provoking mystery set on the French Riviera. Freya wakes after an accident with no memory of her life, surrounded by people who insist they know her: a wealthy husband, glamorous friends, and a stranger who swears he was once her lover. It’s a dreamlike situation that quickly begins to feel like a nightmare.
What I loved most is how the story plays with truth and perception. Freya’s uncertainty seeps into every page, and you start to wonder who is lying: her husband, her friends, or maybe even Freya herself. Reid writes with an elegant simplicity that makes the tension feel believable rather than melodramatic.
The Riviera setting is vividly drawn, all sunlight and shadows, which mirrors Freya’s shifting sense of self. The plot unfolds at a steady pace, with moments of genuine emotional depth that make it more than just a psychological thriller.
By the end, I felt both satisfied and slightly haunted, which is exactly how a story about identity and deception should leave you. If you like mysteries that make you think as well as feel, ‘Who Am I?’ is one to add to your list.

I do love a good psychological thriller with some excellent gaslighting and truly nasty villains and Who Am I? was a delight to read! Freya wakes up from an accident with no memory of who she is or the people she is close to. She is taken home by the man who claims to be her husband, millionaire Carter who is twice her age, and things quickly turn quite odd after that. I love the way author Jane CR Reid sets the scene both for the lavish lifestyle Freya has been thrust into, but also for her sense of discontent, at nothing feeling right, at not knowing who she can trust when she can’t remember anything of her life from before. When strange things begin to happen and her memory seems to be acting up, Carter quickly grows more controlling and Freya is left to wonder if she’s losing her mind.
The gaslighting in this was very well done, and the reader is left to wonder if they can really trust anyone in the cast of characters in this book (my favorite sort of novel.) Monique, who is having an affair with Carter, is a delightfully despicable villain, and you just love to hate her. As things get worse and worse for Freya, you wonder how she will ever dig her way out. This made for an easy read that was cleanly written and nice and easy to follow. 5/5 stars.

Amnesia has been a popular plot device in books and films for a long time, and there is a good reason why. In this case the sufferer is Freya and the reader is drawn in to her story because we discover her past (and difficult present) as she does. The characters she encounters are as much strangers to her as they are to us.
On the face of it, Freya recovers to find that she lives a charmed life. She is bright, attractive, married into money, and living a life of luxury in France.
Nothing, of course, is as it seems. The characters she meets know more about her than she knows about herself and not all are to be trusted or believed.
Against the background of wealth and privilege, Freya uncovers dark truths about herself and about the seemingly glamorous people who inhabit the world she finds herself in.
Because we see things through her eyes, it is easy to empathise with Freya and get caught up in her story. The challenges come thick and fast. This pushes the tale along at a good pace.
Well worth a read.

It is really to weird lose your memory. You have to trust others to fill you in. But are they telling you the truth? And it is not you don’t trust the others, but not even your own self? Were you that bad? Were you that naive? Who were you before? Now all this keeps you on your toes page after page and you read the book at once. On the way there is cheating, deceit, manipulation, blackmail, women after money, powerful men, ruthless lovers and enough characters to add twists and drama. All among money and glam. The names are exquisite. All the ingredients for a pageturner with a glass of wine in hand on Sunday morning.

A sharp, compulsive identity puzzle. After an accident, Freya returns to a gilded life on the French Riviera with no memory—and a personality everyone swears isn’t hers. The setup is catnip: a millionaire husband, an affair she didn’t know about, a “former lover” stirring trouble, and a heroine who isn’t sure if amnesia is the only problem. It reads like domestic suspense crossed with psychological drama, with just enough glam to keep the pages flying. If you enjoy twisty “who was I vs. who am I now?” stories, this scratches the itch.

Jane C R Reid's "Who Am I?" is a psychological thriller that follows Freya’s life after her accident. She’s lost her memory and struggles to trust everyone around her—including her wealthy, older husband, friends, and ex-lover. Set on the French Riviera, Reid weaves a story filled with suspense, mystery, and glamour. What stood out to me most is that while wealth and luxury can be enticing, they often conceal the true values of love, friendship, and true happiness. I couldn’t put the book down until the final page. I highly recommend “Who Am I?” for fans of mysteries with a twist and an HEA.

Great book and novel idea! The whole premise of waking up and not knowing who you are or if the people around you are telling the truth was gripping. Freya's character is well written and you really feel for her trying to peice together her life.
The french riviera setting was brilliant - added that extra layer of glamour but also isolation. expect some twists (no spoilers!)

Losing yourself is scary. You actually don’t know who you are. To emote that in words is certainly difficult, but the author has succeeded in this mystery. The confusion is real, and how the story proceeds from there is interesting – the main character will never be the same regardless of what others may expect. Good engaging book.
