5.0

I devoured the book. It was incredible. It consisted of short, exciting chapters that made you want to keep reading. The story takes place in several places at the same time, so some chapters are written from a different perspective than others. In addition, there is an important story in the past which is also told in several chapters. Normally it bothers me when so much happens at the same time in a book and there is a jump in time, but in this book by Lisa Jewell it didn't bother me at all. The book is very mysterious from the beginning and I couldn't stop reading.

SYNOPSIS:

Alice Lake, a single mom & an artist, lives in a small, British, seaside town called Wittinghouse Bay with her kids and her three dogs. One day, she discovers a man in a fugue state sitting in the beach in the rain, and he has no memories & no idea who he is. She offers him a place to stay, as she helps him uncover his memories..
I don’t want to give any more away so just leaving my synopsis short & sweet :)

MY THOUGHTS

This the FIFTH book I’ve read by Lisa Jewell, and at this point, I am a huge fan. I have read Invisible Girl, Watching You, None of This is True, & Then She Was Gone. — She truly is coming out with gem after gem.
The writing is beautiful, and this story has a great structure. It alternates between differing perspectives, and it goes back & forth between present day & the uncovered memories/truth.
This was riveting, expertly written, addictive, and hard to put down. I got through it in less than 24 hours. I was satisfied with the ending.
I loved the character development throughout the book. I think Jewell does an impressive job with that in all of her books.
Jewell weaves together a suspenseful story at the perfect pace.

TL;DR: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Does Lisa Jewell ever disappoint?! Loved it.

3.5 rounded up. I never quite understand why thrillers these days constantly have people solving crimes within a week, without police interfering.

That being said, I enjoyed the mystery of who, what, when, and where. I feel like the mystery held up until the past was discovered for sure.
