Uf, estuve muchas horas leyendo sin poder parar. Quería saber qué había pasado y por qué. El plot twist estuvo bueno pero tampoco taaaan bueno, no me dejó así: 😲
Se lo recomendaría a alguien que está en un bloqueo lector, porque te atrapa desde la primera página

I love how this book is separated into chapters in both the "girl's" perspective as well as Drew's. This book had me going through a range of emotions. Anxious, sad, heartbroken, hopeful.... It was really well written! 
Drew, as the boyfriend of the missing girl, unfortunately has been the point of blame for the town and the sheriff. The girl with no memory is learning more about herself as experiences give her clues as to who she is before her "accident." The balance between their two perspectives really helps shape this story piece by piece!

Personally, I would say this book was very hard to put down. Once I started, it was hard to finish. The whole book I was convinced that I knew what was going on.  However, the end revealed a total twist that left me reeling with emotions. I was sad that not everything worked out for the characters, especially Drew. He fought for this entire book and misunderstood almost every page. The detective in this story never failed to NOT piss me off. Even when given clear evidence, he decided his opinion was the best. Overall, this book was a page turner. The reason I did not give this book a 5 out of 5 was because I do not think I’ll read it again. What made this book so interesting was the build-up and twist.  It simply would not be the same if I knew the ending. However, I would definitely recommend this book to another person.
