This is a page turning, popcorn eating thriller that I loved. We are following Liv Reece who is suffering from a horrible conidition where when she falls asleep she wakes up not remembering anything from the past two years. That is horrific enough but on top of that it is possible she is a murderor or someone is after her. We also get flashbacks from two years ago and also the police detectives POV in the present. I could not put this book down and loved it. My one criticism is that I thought Liv was a little dim and did not do things that could have given her more information about what was going on. Regardless I still loved it and this is my favorite form the author.
I received a copy of the book from NetGalley.. The opinions expressed are my own

Rating: 4 stars

This was one of the thriller palette cleanser on my summer tbr. Megan Goldin is also one of the 12 authors I wanted to read again this year from my reading life bucket list.

I previously gave her book The Night Swim 5 stars.

I really liked the idea of the book, the forgetting of memory plus murder, but I did get a bit muddled at times that could have been as I was listening to the book as opposed to reading it so maybe suggest reading along if you get muddled easily. I liked the twist but I kind of saw it coming just based on the characters we had, and when it did come I thought it was a bit rushed and I had to relisten to bits to understand what his motives were and why he wanted to kill Liv. 3 stars from me, good premise and a fun read.
