Amnesia by Sean Michael
2.0
This book did not make me believe in the power of love. To be honest the two star rating is me being generous because the writing itself was solid. Apart from that I hated most of this book.
The biggest problem for me with this book was how quickly both Thaine and Drew just started getting down with other people. I get why Thaine would since he didn’t remember their relationship, but Drew moving on so quickly I couldn’t believe. It was gross to me because I am vehemently anti-cheating and so it bothered me a lot.
Jerry was a total asshole. I get that he was still in love with Thaine but the way he treated Thaine’s friend Jesse and Thaine’s pre-amnesia boyfriend Drew was abhorrent. To be honest it reeked of abuse (keeping someone away from their friends etc.) and the way he was so aggressive to them was honestly confusing to me. It was like he knew what he was doing was wrong so he was lashing out.
“Far as he knew, Thaine still didn’t have those five years back. Which sucked for the kid, but Jerry wasn’t sure what Jesse wanted from Thaine.”
I don’t know, maybe he wanted his friend to act with some compassion even though he didn’t remember Drew? Like a real human would? Maybe he wanted to talk to his friend. Why is Jerry getting so aggressive with Thaine’s supposed best friend? Especially since they would have known each other from before.
Sorry if this sounds like I am putting down amnesiacs, but would they really just start treating everyone like garbage just because they didn’t remember some time? Really? It made me think that Thaine was pretending to be a good person and then reverted back to his garbage personality when he got amnesia. What is even worse is that Thaine kept going WHY IS JESSE MAD AT ME???? Because you are a douchecanoe supreme. Mystery solved.
Personally if I knew someone that got amnesia and they treated me like that when they lost their memory, I would never talk to them again. Even if they got their memory back and grovelled. Get wrecked. Friendship is more important to me than most things and so maybe this is just hitting me wrong because of that, but it really made me dislike the book.
Let’s focus on what I did like about this book. After I kind of blacked out the whole Drew-kind-of-cheating-on-Thaine thing I actually really liked Jesse and Drew together. They were really sweet to each other and I enjoyed them.
Apart from that the book was too dramatic and had too many problems for my taste.
