Somebody I Used to Love
by Eve Ainsworth
I listened to the audiobook.
This was a nicely paced, engaging read with an interesting plot line.
Will and Gemma have grown up together and their friendship has blossomed into romance. They’re star-crossed and fated to be together, until they’re not.
Will has woken up in hospital following a car accident that caused a brain injury. As a result, he’s lost the last three years’ worth of memories. He awakes to a lifestyle, fiancée and personality that he doesn’t recognise, and is heartbroken to find out that Gemma, the love of his life, is in another relationship.
This story is about Will’s journey to fill in the gaps, and whether he’s able to rebuild the bridges he’s burned over the last three years.
It was a great little listen, but in my opinion should have finished around three chapters earlier. I felt the final plot point was a bit of a stretch too far, considering everything Will had been working towards. To me it seems as though the story attempted to be a little too worthy, when it was working very nicely as a straightforward piece of chick-lit, thank you. Hence, four stars rather than five.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Bolinda Audio for the chance to read an ARC. Somebody I Used to Love is out now.
