Have you seen the movie 13 Going on 30, well this book starts quite close to the main theme - missing out on a few years and now trying to live in a whole 'nother world. The comedy of someone waking up and missing out on 15 years and going from a world with very little technology to our world of tweeting, iphones and internet was very fun to read. This is where the story begins, but it ends in a different spot - and I am all the more glad for it!
With twists and turns, this book ended up being much more than I thought it would be and I enjoyed the deeper story that was beyond her losing her memories. Kate, the main character, has two men who are trying to help her find her memories and make new ones. She is trying to unlock the past to find out why she has such a strained relationship with one of the men. This review may sound general, but there are some great aspects of this book that I just don't want to spoil, so I don't want to be too wordy in my review.
A perfect chick lit read for the new year to remind us to keep our memories close because they can be easily lost. I would definitely recommend this book to all my readers who love a great chick lit with a little love triangle action.

I'm a big fan of this author, however this book just didn't work for me. It felt as if the author was trying to throw too many elements into a single book. As a result, there wasn't very much character development making it difficult to connect with any of them.
An even bigger flaw was that the main character's memory is gone back to the age of 17, making her that age emotionally as well. That said, the author moves her mentally into adulthood very quickly. This adjustment isn't even a main topic in the character's therapy sessions.
All in all this book lacked what this author typically stellar at...telling a charming love story. I recommend skipping this book and go on and enjoy one of her other great books.

To start on the Nook this novel has 240 pages. I started reading Heather Wardell's work with her free eBook Life Love and a Polar Bear Tattoo. Since then I have read all of her novels. I loved that this book starts taking you in one direction then takes you on a turn that keeps you reading until the end.
Waking up with a strange man is scary. Realizing you lost fifteen years of your life overnight? That's terrifying. With her memories from seventeen to thirty-two gone, Kate has no idea who she is and where she belongs. As she begins to fall for the man who found her, she wonders if she forgot those years for a reason. Should she keep trying to retrieve her original self, or start a new life?
