Twenty-nine-year-old Evie has amnesia after the car accident that killed her husband, Oliver. In fact, she still thinks she’s 16, best friends with Bree and doesn’t remember Oliver at all.
A chance encounter with a photographer, Drew, outside the funeral takes her on a journey to remembering her past – and why she perhaps blanked out so many memories.
This is one of those books where it’s best you don’t know too much going in as the reveals keep coming. The dual narrative storyline switches from present day to the past to show the readers her forgotten experiences. Quite the page-turner.
After her loving and brilliant husband Cam dies from early-onset Alzheimer’s, Kate is left a young widow raising their young son and surrounded by post-it notes written by Cam.
Her boss, Hugh, has been a mountain of support for her over the years, and now they are stuck in Byron Bay due to bad weather.
From the opening scene with the hand grenade (not a usual prop in these types of stories!), I knew this book would be amazing. Most of the story is told two years after his death but also includes recaps to the time around Cam’s diagnosis. It’s a moving and relatable story, inspired by the author’s own heartbreaking loss. Put this on your absolutely must-read list.
