I loved the trope, but the execution was quite disappointing. It started well in the beginning, but it soon became clear that the characters didn't have any distinctive personalities. It was as if the characters only existed so the plot could move forward. I didn't care about them, and this made it even harder for me to root for the main couple because I found Brielle to be so frustrating at certain times. I was expecting some angst brought on by the memory loss, but it wasn't explored too much. There were also way too many meaningless filler chapters. I skimmed through the whole water balloon fight date chapter. Also, one of my mystery book pet peeves is when the murderer ends up being a person who was not even mentioned as a suspect before. Unfortunately, this book done exactly that :/
