Once again, I am kicking myself for being a Psych major (or maybe I just watch Criminal Minds way too much). I literally had the ENTIRE thing figured out right to the very last detail of the ending by page 2, so I didn't enjoy this at all. The writing style made it a fast paced read, but it never really got intense because nothing was surprising. I didn't get mindfucked at all. There was never an element of 'what's going to happen?!' I already knew what Jamie's memories were going to be, and I already knew what the outcome between him and Cate was going to be (literally, I worked it out to the last detail before Cate even really re-appeared in the story without actually working my brain at all).
I honestly don't see how everything that happened wasn't blatantly obvious to everyone before it even happened, but I guess that's just how my brain works.
So, if you're not prone to quickly figure out mysteries and psychological workings, you would probably find this book amazing. It was just all too obvious for me though; nothing was vague about any of the foreshadowing from the beginning, so I saw right through it all.
Also, newsflash to authors: selective memory and amnesia is becoming the most overdone plot since the love triangle, but if you're going to do it at least don't make the outcome when the main character discovers their memories so obvious from the get go.
