My thoughts in short:
+ Original concept (plotwise)
+ Christine's memory problems are intriguing, although they're not a real disease or diagnosis
0 Basic writing
- Quite repetitive in the beginning, even though I understand why it's needed
- The end is very rushed, especially after the repetitive start
- Halfway through I already guessed where the story went

I really enjoyed this. Amnesia fascinates me and to have it in a mystery/thriller made for a really unpredictable story.
Christine wakes up everyday not knowing where she is. She looks in the mirror and looks so much older than she remembers. There’s a man in her bed but she doesn’t remember having a husband. It seems her memory erases everyday.
She meets a doctor who helps her and she starts to unravel things about her life and realizes the accident that caused her amnesia isn’t what she’s been told.
I was on the edge of my seat for this story. My predictions were going back and forth. And I was kept guessing throughout. A great story. Very well done!

For me, this book is on a par with [b:The Girl on the Train|22557272|The Girl on the Train|Paula Hawkins|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1490903702s/22557272.jpg|41107568]: tedious, repetitive and definitely not worth the hype.
