OH MY GOD this was a hell of a ride! I didn't expect

an amnesia storyline

but I liked it here more than I usually do! Also, am I crazy or was this supposed to be a trilogy? I'm definitely not mad about another book though! Despite this not going anywhere I expected it to, I adored listening to this book. I read the first few chapters on paper too, but the audiobook makes it come to life so much more! And of course, I'm able to listen while I work, but not so much read a hefty book. I'm so excited for the next chapter in Bree's story
