This book was all over the place! Bit of a bore - I feel as if it has good potential but was just lost in the formatting style.

I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book with thanks to Netgalley. I wanted to read this book as the cover looks great! But I must explain why I awarded three stars... The day she can't forget is a good story and written well but, I personally didn't get into it as much as I would have liked! I wasn't hooked or blown away. The cover makes it seem like a great thriller but to me personally I didn't find it a thriller or thrilling. This story took me a while to finish too and felt it dragged which isn't usually like me. There was a part within the story where everything made sense with a great twist but other than that for me personally it was just an average book! But nevertheless thanks for letting me read it. Some books are not for everyone and these are just my personal views.
The day she can't forget would be the ideal story for readers who enjoy a thriller, mystery and suspense plot! Enjoy.

The story jumps around a lot, making it hard for the reader to stay interested. A bit of a jumbled mess.
Thank you, netgalley, for an e-review copy of this book.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review
I found this novel a little confusing but I didn't care enough about the characters to go back and double check. The ending is a little too neat for my liking but it's a good enough read.

In 2016, a woman is found wondering down a street in freezing weather without a coat and with no memory. She also has blood all over her. As she slowly regains memories, her fear intensifies. In 1974, a young woman has just began school at an exclusive music academy. It is her first chance at freedom, society, and love. How do these two stories intertwine? What happened then and now?
This is told in two timelines, past and present. It is very confusing. The past timeline was pretty interesting and if that would have been the whole story, the book would have been okay. The current storyline is a mess. We have a woman with holes in her memory, who was a wreck before that happened, and who seems like a pity-party for one. Yes, she has excuses, but she was just so annoying.
I did not care for this book, but I encourage others to read it and make up their own minds.

"To move forward you need to know where you are going. But how can you know where you want to go if you're still fighting against where you are now?"
Because of the cover I expected something totally different from what I actually read.
We have two storylines.
The first one with Alma, a young girl coming to London, seeking live and freedom.
The second - the mistery - one with Zeb, a woman found alone on a deserted road, her memory lost. This is also where it gets messy.
While trying to figure out what happened to her, she has a lot to deal with. Her recent divorce, trying to be a good mother and her fathers death. She also is reminiscing about her childhood and youth and tries to fight her drinking problem. And then she discovers hidden family secrets.
It took some unexpected turns and surprised me, while dropping a few hints through the entire book, the linking doesn't happen until shortly before the end.
There are still a few question left unanswered. And all of this has a very slow build, so it is not a fast a read but still a good story.
I thought about giving this 4 stars but while actually recalling, I think I have read a lot of better stuff ... so 3,5 Stars

I just finished this book and loved it. It was full of mystery. I loved trying to figure out how the two women connected, and what happened to get the point that Zeb started at in the book. The book ended on a sad but happy note. I have nothing bad to say about this book. Thank you to the Publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book.
