a very forgettable book because three quarters of the book was set up. The twist (though good) did not make up for the lack of any kind of action throughout the rest of the book. Disappointed after two really great reads by this author, this really did not live up to her other work.

Oh my. Ms Kent does an amazing job creating multi-faceted characters. And some of them are just nutters. LOL. Hoo boy howdy... Autumn is remarkably idiotic and misguided with no idea how the world actually works. And don't get me started on how she jumps to conclusions about what she sees on social media

I am really enjoying reading Minka Kent's books. They are well written and twisty. You never know when the latest twist is going to hit you.
In The Memory Watcher, Autumn Carpenter has given up her baby. She has focused her life on watching this child, Grace, grow up as her adoptive family posts pictures of Grace on Instaface. But, abruptly the pictures stop, and now Autumn is desperate to see more of Grace, going so far as to date the man who lives behind the family. Graham and Daphne, Grace, and their other 2 children, Rose and Sebastian, seem happy. However, looks and what is posted on social media isn't always real. As Autumn entwines her life with the McMullen family, she isn't prepared for the consequences.
I was surprised by the turns that the book took, especially the ending - although the hints about Autumn were there throughout the book. I just didn't realize the extent of the change. I was not a fan of Graham's, and he was painted as the stereotypical husband with a mid-life crisis. Daphne was surprising too.
