I thought this was a great book! I loved the characters in it as well. Had my attention from the get go!

I'm finally finished - hard I believe it took 9 months!! Just got busy with book club picks and other random finds along the way.
I just heard there is a movie being created about this book. My first reaction was that it would be a made for TV movie starring Tracy Gold (remember Growing Pains?!?) In fact, the beat on the street is Nicole Kidman is cast to play the role of Christine. Interesting.
A good read - even though it scared me awake one night - and I bet it would have been even better if I had read it all at once.

This book was akin to a serious version of the movie 50 first dates. Christine was in an "accident" and is unable to retain memories long term. She also doesn't have any recollection of anything that has happened to her since child and young adulthood. When she wakes up in the morning she doesn't remember her husband or having a son, and doesn't remember where she lives. There is a twist in the story towards the end, however the plot is so transparent that I saw it coming.

I got goosebumps. Honest to goodness goosebumps. Hair raised on my arms. Enough said?

That was the latest book that I read from cover to cover in a couple of days. The story and writing are compelling and I enjoyed uncovering Christine's story as she did.
I discovered this book from the 2011 Top 100 list on Amazon and it has been one of my favorite reads for the year as well.

I really enjoyed this book. It was quite interesting how things are revealed to the reader as they are revealed to the main character. I had some correct guesses on the ending and some took me by surprise.
