The Day She Can't Forget by Meg Carter
3.0
"To move forward you need to know where you are going. But how can you know where you want to go if you're still fighting against where you are now?"
Because of the cover I expected something totally different from what I actually read.
We have two storylines.
The first one with Alma, a young girl coming to London, seeking live and freedom.
The second - the mistery - one with Zeb, a woman found alone on a deserted road, her memory lost. This is also where it gets messy.
While trying to figure out what happened to her, she has a lot to deal with. Her recent divorce, trying to be a good mother and her fathers death. She also is reminiscing about her childhood and youth and tries to fight her drinking problem. And then she discovers hidden family secrets.
It took some unexpected turns and surprised me, while dropping a few hints through the entire book, the linking doesn't happen until shortly before the end.
There are still a few question left unanswered. And all of this has a very slow build, so it is not a fast a read but still a good story.
I thought about giving this 4 stars but while actually recalling, I think I have read a lot of better stuff ... so 3,5 Stars
