Publisher's summary

After years of hard work, Dr. Charly McKenna finally has it all:

A prosperous career as a dermatologist? Check.

Spacious apartment overlooking Central Park? Check.

Handsome lawyer husband? Double check.

Then, one night a bullet rips through the right side of her skull and she loses everything.

As Charly struggles to recover from her brain injury, she begins to realize that the events of that fateful night are trapped in the damaged right side of her brain. Now, she must put the jigsaw pieces together to discover the identity of the man who tried to kill her...before he finishes the job he started.

Great Read

Loved this book! Made me laugh out loud numerous times. Loved the characters. My new favorite author. I've read every book by her that I have found.

Story was interesting. Narration was very good.

This was a unique concept for a story but was rather drawn out and too predictable.
Worth a read but didn’t “wow” me.

Not horrible. Predictable and a bit drawn out.

The story started out okay but then, became redundant. The main character was both shallow and naive. All the signs were there but she overlooked them. Everything was drawn out . It could’ve done without so much fluff. I loved Jaime.

Good Story

I liked the story and the characters lot as well as the way it was developed. I'll search more books by the same author.

just ok

A few funny parts, a few suspenseful parts, a few 'what the heck parts, predictable. Just an 'okay' from me.

Enjoyable!

This story was a bit predictable but I listened happily the whole way through! I like a persistent hero! Wish protagonist had a little more gumption though!

great one

As someone that has suffered a brain injury, it's kind of scary to think if my injury had been worse, I was super fortunate! This book has plenty of humor in it. Look out for flying peas. It'll make you chuckle and feel sad. You'll never quite know who did what or why. I'm loving all Freida books. I listened to this one and the narrator did a good job.

Just what I needed

I thought this was nonfiction, at first, then I re-read the info. Still sounded good. It was great. It may not be a fast-paced thriller but there was so much more to it. I have a new patience for people with brain injuries. I also wanted to shake Charly - for a person with a PhD she sure wasn’t sure of herself. I kidding - she was great. Awesome reader, too.

Too slow

I kept waiting for something to happen. Just a story of a woman recovering in rehab. Not for me.
