A nice story with a fulfilling ending. I found it hard to get into at first but then it gradually got more interesting once her memories started coming back fully. Obviously it's a sad story also but it was necessary to the story. 

I found it interesting how the flashbacks to Ken in Broadstairs were similar to Lisa Jewells future thrillers of "The Family Upstairs" books. Thought maybe this is where she got her inspiration from.

Saying this, I do prefer Jewells later books in the thriller categories!
