Alice wakes up on a bench in Central Park handcuffed to a strange man. Just the night before, Alice had been partying with three friends in Paris, so how did she end up in New York? The man she is handcuffed to, Gabriel, says he is a musician and was playing with his band in Dublin the night before. He is also clueless as to how he ended up in New York. Alice is a police detective in Paris and quickly realizes that she must contact her partner, so she and Gabriel steal a cell phone. When she reaches her partner, she asks him to check security camera footage in the garage where she parked her car, at which point, her memory of events ends. She and Gabriel must acquire transportation so they steal a car and try to figure out how they will get some cash.
The premise of Central Park is fascinating, and the story constantly keeps the reader guessing as to how this whole situation occurred and who might be responsible. Clues and red herrings are parceled out throughout the book, making it impossible to tell who Alice should trust. In the last few chapters of the book everything is revealed, leaving this reader feeling let down and unimpressed. Although the first 3/4 of the book are riveting, by the end, this story seems like a waste of time. Not recommended.

The premise was incredible and then everything that followed was disappointing.
Two strangers wake up in Central Park handcuffed together with no recollection of how or why and have to trace back their movements and figure out how they ended up there.
The dialogue is choppy, strained and awkwardly written and while it could possibly be a translation issue it was really disjointed and kept kicking me out of the scene. The characters decisions often times made no sense whatsoever and even with the explanation at the end the plot was all so unbelievable to the point it wasn’t enjoyable. The author switches between being overly verbose on topics like the descriptions of New York which play very little role in the plot to giving absolutely no details about more critical points of the narrative. It was incredibly irritating.
I feel like I could be the outlier on this book because it was highly recommended so everyone should make their own decision but this one was definitely not for me.

I obviously read the English version but couldn’t find that on good reads. What an interesting story!!!! Lots of twists and turns, quick and fun read

في كتب بتحكي قصة اشخاص فاقدين ذاكرتهن، اشخاص مش عارفين هني كيف وصلوا للمكان اللي بتبلش فيه القصة، و منضطر نكتشف العالم حولهم بالوقت اللي هني عم يكتشفوه. منضطر نتعلم عن قصتهم بالوقت اللي هني عم يتعلموا فيه.
و قليلة الكتب اللي بتقدر تخلي القارئ منجذب للقصة و ما يمل من قلة المعلومات بسبب فقدان الذاكرة. لأنو منكون عم نشوف القصة من ثقب ابرة اول شي. و ممكن هيدا الشي يخلينا نحس بالملل.
من أحد احلى الكتب اللي قريتها ب هيك طريقة، هو هيدا الكتاب : سنترال بارك.
البطلة ذكية جدا، البطل او المساعد هون، مهضوم، عندو دهاء و بيقدر ياخد صفحات من الكتاب من دون ما نحس انهن مرقوا.
.
اي حدا قاري كتب قبل ل غيوم ميسو بيعرف كيف ب آخر القصة تقريبا في plot twist بتغير كل شي. هيدا الكتاب كان تاني تجربة الي مع هالكاتب من بعد "فتاة من ورق". و للصراحة ممكن الواحد يحس انو انخدع او انضحك عليه بس يخلص الكتاب. الحبكة قوية، بس التغيير اللي بصير بالنهاية كان مزعج قليلا. ممكن كانت تنتهي القصة ب شي اقوى، و منطقي اكتر.
على كل حال، القصة حلوة و سريعة و الشخصيات كلها مهضومة و قريبة للقلب. بنصحكن فيه جدا. بس بنصح بـ "فتاة من ورق" اكتر.

Una novela absorbente con una investigación policial genial, unos personajes muy buen construidos y con una trama que tiene las dosis exactas de misterio y drama. Puede que el principio sea un poco lento y que algunas descripciones estén de más, pero enseguida te sentirás atrapado por la historia y especialmente por ese giro argumental brutal que será capaz de dejarte a cuadros.
