This is my first official two star book. Usually when a book is this bad, I quit reading and don’t rate it. The thing is, I was curious to find out what happened to the main character, and I kept thinking it would get better. By the time I realized it wasn’t going to get better, I only had a couple hours left in the audiobook. So I sped up the narration and finished it.
The main character, Lucy, has false memory syndrome and thinks she is married to a former boyfriend instead of the guy she’s living with when she suffers the concussion. Nothing much happens in this book. It’s just a lot of listening to Lucy whining and trying to figure out what’s real.
Most of the story is told in the first person from Lucy‘s point of view. There are some scenes that are presented as if her boyfriend is sharing a story about their past that she doesn’t remember. The narration changes to third person, but it is still being told from Lucy‘s point of view. And yet she doesn’t remember the story, so how can it be told from her point of view? It just makes no sense.
The ending was expected and nothing special.
The narrator was okay. She was a bit cloying at times, which was actually perfect for the character.
