Publisher's Summary

From the Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Everything series comes a new novel of love, lies, and deceit.

Lifestyle journalist Ella Skye remembers every celebrity she interviewed, every politician she charmed between the sheets, and every socialite who eyed her with envy. The chance meeting with her husband, Damien; their rapid free fall into love; and their low-key, intimate wedding are all locked in her memory. But what she can’t remember is the tragic car accident that ripped her unborn child from her. Ella can’t even recall being pregnant.

Hoping to find the memories of a lost pregnancy that’s left her husband devastated and their home empty, Ella begins delving into her past when she’s assigned an exclusive story about Nathan Donovan, a retired celebrity adventurer who seems to know more about her than she does him. To unravel the mystery of her selective memory loss, Ella follows Nathan from the snowcapped Sierra Nevada to the frozen slopes of southeast Alaska. There she discovers the people she trusts most aren’t the only ones keeping secrets from her - she’s hiding them from herself. Ella quickly learns that some truths are best left forgotten.

You'll hate the ending.. don't bother

I had a hard time finishing this book. If you hate a bad ending don't bother. The story makes no sense. You'll end up wanting none of them getting out of it unscathed. The lead female is just horrible.. then they add back stores about her out of nowhere. it's your dime though.

Last summer

This book had a lot of twist and turns. I particularly didn’t like the ending. Will not spoil it for you if you are going to waste time listening to it. I think this book could have had a better story line and a better ending. Not one I would re-read. Read if you are bored and want to be taken for a ride. Not a good read for me!

awful story, yikes

wanted to love this. mostly sad about manipulation and self centeredness. did finish because i wanted to somehow believe in the redemption of the characters.

Fantastic read!

This is a great story! Listened to it in one day! What would you be willing to do to save your marriage? Would you be willing to forget?

Diabolical plot - character development weak.

But found main character ridiculous. As the plot unfolds each of the 3 characters devolve into pathetic idiots. I do love this narrator though. She makes anything sound good.

What an unbelievably stupid book!

I rarely write reviews but this book was so incredibly bad that I feel a responsibility to warn other readers. I do not understand how ANYBODY could have given it a positive review. The story is ridiculous, the characters ALL turn out to be manipulative and self-serving, and the narrative drags out what little plot there is to an absurd length. The only good thing I could say about the book regards the narration. I’d search out other books narrated by Christina Panfilio because she does an excellent job. Otherwise, this book goes on the “Do not read this author again” list.

predictable

I tried but I couldn't even finish. boring and very predictable. could not hold my interest at as ll.

Intriguing story. Romance with a suspenseful twist.

I’ve read all of Kerry’s other books, and this is up there as my favorite. It’s very suspenseful and keeps you guessing what’s going to happen next. It gets a little crazy and out there at the end, but overall I liked the plot twist. The narrator did a great job and didn’t distract from the story. I loved the characters and their back stories.

everyone is perfect, rich etc. drives me crazy.

I loved the reader. great voice a d did a good job. book had nothing but physically and mentally perfect people. gets a little old.

enjoyed

twist use good good caricature /story developement plot, good reader. will look into other book
