I found this to be oversimplistic in writing style and underdeveloped in characterization. I wasn't captured by the story and it all just seemed so obvious. If you're going to have a love triangle with a story that centers around memory loss/identity crisis there should be some tension, no? It shouldn't be clear who the lying bad guy is and who is the wronged, unfairly impugned husband. And yet it's plain as day. So it's a fairly boring/frustrating experience when you're reading along waiting for the main character to catch up to your own realizations. And also, douchebags aren't sexy. A big overall "meh."
