I really enjoyed this. Amnesia fascinates me and to have it in a mystery/thriller made for a really unpredictable story.
Christine wakes up everyday not knowing where she is. She looks in the mirror and looks so much older than she remembers. There’s a man in her bed but she doesn’t remember having a husband. It seems her memory erases everyday. 
She meets a doctor who helps her and she starts to unravel things about her life and realizes the accident that caused her amnesia isn’t what she’s been told. 

I was on the edge of my seat for this story. My predictions were going back and forth. And I was kept guessing throughout. A great story. Very well done!
