3.5 stars
I've received this novel via Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.
This novel was filed under Women's Fiction/ Literary Fiction category in Netgalley, but it's a mystery/thriller.
The main protagonist is Casey Edwards, who's spent 10 years locked up in a mental institution. She's got a usual case of total amnesia. One comes across amnesia in soap operas and books relatively often, as it adds to the drama. But the thing is, amnesia, especially total amnesia is extremely rare. So I had to work on suspending my disbelief.
Since I haven't read many books in this genre, it's a bit difficult to compare and contrast.
It was an easy read, that got better after the 10%. The writing was simple and the pace was fast, at times dizzying, with multiple narrators in play. There are lots of flashbacks and dreams, which I guess it was to be expected given Casey's amnesia.
Things were quite twisted, but nevertheless it was relatively easy to guess who'd done it.
I'm sure many readers of the genre will find this novel quite good.
It wasn't really my cup of tea, as I didn't connect or cared that much about the characters.
Recommended: To thriller/mystery lovers.
