Forgive & Forget

The Space Between, Filled With Memory

De: Swantje Oppermann, Catherine Venner - translator

Narrado por: Chase Brown, Georgia Maguire

Marlie's life in Santa Barbara is the epitome of perfection: the ocean sparkles under the California sun, her studies are going brilliantly, and in Tristan, she has found her soulmate. But this idyllic existence begins to crack when a stranger appears at her door one evening, claiming to be Tristan's twin brother, Callan—someone whose existence Tristan never mentioned. Shortly after this revelation, Tristan vanishes without a trace.

Desperate for answers, Marlie reluctantly accepts Callan's help, and together they journey across Southern California searching not only for Tristan but for the truth. With each passing day, an unwanted attraction grows between them, along with Marlie's tormenting doubts. As she delves deeper into the brothers' past, her own memories and certainties begin to blur. The twins share more than just their appearance—a secret that defies the boundaries of possibility and threatens to plunge Marlie into an abyss between love and betrayal.

A captivating romantic urban fantasy about hidden truths, deceptive certainties, and the ultimate question: Who can you trust when even your own memories might be lying?

Kept Me Guessing

Not a bad way to spend the day. The characters kept surprising me and were interesting.

Forgettable

This story was bizarre and did not flow well at all. The narrator was great but had a British accent when the main character speaking in first person was German. There were references to things using British references and made by American characters. An American shop owner calling a hood of a car a “bonnet” for example. An editor who could catch these things would have been money well spent.

The overall story was weak and could have been much better by events that actually made sense. Just poorly executed.

The physiological

quite a use of mind manipulationin interesting. had to listen till halfway thru to really get into it

Nothing really stood out

The story could’ve had so much more detail and depths to it. It seemed to have been all over the place. I really had big hugs for the story and the end of it was just disappointing.

The ending

I didn’t like the ending. I didn’t think the ending justified the story. If Marley can’t trust Tritian, she should not be able to trust Callum. It’s also something creepy about Callum and Marley’s relationship.
