This was my first Brittainy Cherry book and for the most part it was decent. I love the amnesia trope and I think she did a great job of highlighting that. I do think that there were things she could’ve went deeper with (Gabriel’s life after his coma, Kierra going to school and obtaining her degree, Claire and Ava’s meeting etc) 

The ending to me felt like it was put together in a hurry and felt kinda rushed. Overall it was decent book and I would recommend to others.
