The End of Getting Lost by Robin Kirman
4.0
Gina Reinhold is a young dancer who is unable to recall the last year of her life due to a head injury on her honeymoon. The year is 1996-no phones, status updates, or location sharing. Gina and her husband, Duncan Lowy, are a young artistic couple traveling Europe together and falling even more madly in love. Gina’s memories are hazy, but as they begin to resurface, she realizes that her only companion on the continent may be hiding something.
I liked this book, but I can’t say I loved it. The amnesia trope was so interesting and very well done! This was my first time reading a book like this. It wasn’t incredibly difficult to figure out the plot, but difficult enough to keep my interest. The setting was lovely and I enjoyed picturing all the different European countries. As far as what I didn’t like, none of the characters were likable and they did such terrible things to each other. Which I’m sure is the whole point but for some reason it just didn’t sit well with me this time. And if you know me, if there’s a serial killer then sign me up because I’m all about the crazy and twisted. But I think what honestly bothered me was all the constant lying from both sides, it just got kind of old. The only other thing I didn’t like was how some of the flashbacks seemed to drag on and take time away from the immediate story. Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my gifted E-ARC!
