I’ve never read a novel by Dani Atkins, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. After seeing so many great reviews of The Memory of Us, I knew I had to read it! Though I found the twins part of the story to be a little outlandish, it was certainly a creative and interesting twist. Lexi and Amelia’s relationship throughout the book was beautiful. The sisterly devotion they have to one another is something I found myself envying quite a bit! Though this book wasn’t a favorite, I did enjoy it and am looking forward to checking out more by this Author. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4! Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for gifting me an ARC in exchange for my honest review,

I loved this story from beginning to end, it held my attention and I didn't want it to end. The storyline is clever and unique, it was fascinating to see it evolve as the story unfolds. The book made me smile a lot, sigh over the love story and sob a few times. This is a great story.

I became really absorbed in the lives of Amelia and Lexi and found I didn't want to put the book down. The two sisters, Amelia and Lexi are twins, although they are born 10 years apart, they have a close connection. When Lexi is found dying on the mud flats near her cottage, her heart is restarted and the story begins. I loved their connection; they were so close and Lexi's determination to do everything to help Amelia. Nick, a vet who walked on the beach near Amelia's home, was such a kind man who I couldn't help but love him too.

Dani Atkins always writes a good story and this one is superb. I sobbed through the end and admired the sisters so much for their resilience and love for each other. I can highly recommend this beautifully written story.

Omg i have no tears left! I loved this book so much! I fellIn love
loved with all the characters and the emotional rollercoaster it took me on. This was an amazing read!

After a slow start I found this an enjoyable read that tackled many sensitive subjects.

The sisterly bond between Lexi and Amelia was the focal point of the story with a supporting cast of characters that you wanted to have a happy ending.

Although at times I wanted to shake Lexi and follow her own path rather than worry about everyone else.

Thanks to netgalley for the opportunity to review this book this is my honest opinion

A beautiful, but heartbreaking story about the love and connection between siblings. It shows how siblings will do whatever they can to protect one another, and support one another. You will fall in love with all of the characters, they are caring, kind, resilient and full of hope. You will want them to all have their happily ever after. This book shows the struggle of trying to do what is best for someone else, without losing out on what is best for yourself. Such an incredibly written story that will make you smile, laugh and cry.

Well, this was certainly a rollercoaster of emotions!
I was invested in Lexi's story from the start, and I was really impressed by how strongly I could feel the sisters' bond as I was reading.
There were some very tough subjects covered sensitively and it really made me think about how far I would go to help/protect the people I love.
I also enjoyed the fact that we weren't treated to a fairytale happy ending, making it a more realistic read and also cathartic as I was in bits reading the final chapter!

I love Dani Atkins and this one was as good if not better than all her others.
She has a magical talent for taking the tragic and making it so relatable and yet so full of joy too.
I'll be recommending this to all of my book friends!

Lexi rushes to Somerset when she learns that her sister Amelia is hospitalized. Amelia wakes up confused and mentions a man named Sam, whom no one knows. One day, Lexi sees the man from Amelia's drawing, gets to know him more, and falls for him. The book is full of twists and turns, with a strong portrayal of sisterly love and understanding.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I have enjoyed Dani Atkins books before and looked forward to this one. I enjoyed it but admit it felt quite king and laboured
Lexi lives in New York but returns home when her sister is found unconscious on the beach.
Amelia has a memory of Sam, a man she insists is her husband but no one else knows.
Lexi meets Nick, who looks just like Sam, and he reluctantly helps by recreating photos of 'memories'.
I enjoyed aspects of the relationships between characters but was left feeling a bit flat.

I loved this book and the emotional rollercoaster it took me on. I liked that it wasn’t cliched and didn’t shy away from tougher subjects. Brilliant read.

When Lexi flies from NY to the UK to care for Amelia, her sick sister, she finds that Amelia has memories of a marriage that never existed.
The novel is full of emotions from the love between the sisters to the birth of a romance between Nick and Lexi. At times it is difficult for the family who are dealing with a person who is not living the same reality as them but both Lexi and her mother move forward with hope.
#TheMemoryOfUs is a heartbreaking, bittersweet novel about how far you will go for the people you love the most, emotionally engaging with well-rounded characters and a gripping storyline.

Love Dani Atkins books and this is no exception. Lexi lives in New York but rushes back home when she hears her sister Amelia is seriously ill. She was found on the beach unconscious and her heart had stopped. She wakes up insisting she's married to someone called Sam

This book was definitely interesting. It took a little while for me to get into it but I’m glad I stuck with it. Ended up having a great story line and I enjoyed the relationships between the characters.

A thought and tear provoking novel about sisters, Amelia and Alexià and their unique bond.
Amelia is discovered on the beach one night in crisis by two doctors. Lexi immediately flies home to the UK to be by her side and is greeted by stories of a whirlwind live affair and mystery husband Sam. Determined to support her sister in the best possible way she can she manages to persuade local vet Nick to help her after a chance encounter.

I enjoyed the dynamic and plotline of the book. The plotline was intriguing and made me want to read on to see how things played out. Personally, it started slow for me and it was hard to get into but as I advanced on, I got increasingly into it and became very easy to read and I ended up finishing it like a day later.

So i was given the opportunity to read this book, so i took it, so thank you netgalley. I have read a previous book by Dani which i thoroughly enjoyed. This was the same. I absolutely loved this read. I spent the last few chapters in absolute tears!! It was a beautiful story and it really focuses on family and how strong bonds can really be. How far would you go for a family member. This book shows how far some people will go for loved ones. I really did like all the characters within this story and i waa rooting for all of them. If you get the chance to reas this, i would recommend you do. Its definitely 5 stars from me and i felt privileged to read an advanxed copy so thank you

This is an incredible - and almost incredulous - story about two remarkable sisters /twins, family and love. Lexi has built a life in New York but when she receives a devastating middle of the night phone call from her mum she doesn’t hesitate to return to England where her sister Amelia is seriously ill having been found unresponsive on a beach by two off duty doctors who miraculously managed to resuscitate her. When Amelia wakes she is desperate to see her husband Sam but this is some freak delusion as she’s never been married but to keep her calm Lexi doesn’t challenge her. Amelia misses Sam so badly she draws some portraits of him so she can keep looking at him but then one morning Lexi meets the man in the picture who isn’t called Sam and has never met Amelia however Lexi realises this is an opportunity to try offer some comfort to Amelia setting off a chain of events that leave her impossibly in love.

This was a decent read for around the first three quarters with some brilliant family drama with Lexi, Amelia and her mum; the staggering belief that Amelia had in Sam and the devastation this caused her family and the worries about Amelia’s physical health too. Add in the complicated relationship between Lexi and Nick and the memories they created whilst the tension between the grew and the way Lexi put her sister above everything. The last quarter though was gut wrenching with a devastating reveal and the difficult decision Lexi struggled with. This was a real heartbreaker and brilliantly written, if at first you’re not totally hooked this is one that definitely worth persevering with as it will stay with you after. 9/10

Fast becoming a favourite author of mine! DO NOT START THIS UNTIL YOU CLEAR YOUR SCHEDULES AS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN!!!!… I absolutely LOVED… Perfect read to lift your spirits, make you cry, and keep you hooked… Will keep you up late at night

What a beautiful read. I'm always excited to read a Dani Atkins book and I'm never dissapointed and this one is no exception it's a fantastic read from start to finish..When Ameilia is found on the beach she wasn't breathing and no one knew how long it had been and when her sister arrives from New York things didn't look good but what happened when she regained consciousness was a shock and was something they could never have predicted.As they try and make sense of what Ameilia says Lexi and her mum must try and do whatever they can to help her. It's a lovely story full of emotion and beautifully written and a real tearjerker I loved it and highly recommended it

When Lexi gets the phone call that her sister, Amelia is in hospital she immediately leaves her life in New York to be by her side in Somerset where she lives.

When Amelia awakens she is confused and talking about her husband, Sam. Even more confused are Lexi and their mum because Amelia isn’t married. She is so certain of this man that Amelia can draw pictures as clear as day of the man she claims to be married to. So when Lexi spots the man from her sisters drawing while on the beach, she has to ask if he knows her sister. This meeting is the catalyst for everything that follows and it is how Lexi hopes to help her sisters recovery. Unfortunately in doing so, Lexi’s feeling for this man become more and she finds herself falling for her sisters ‘husband’.

Having read other books by this author I had a feeling I’d like it.

This book is packed from the start with twists and turns and filled with emotion. I love the sisters close relationship and how they know each other so well. I literally couldn’t put the book down and there were definitely tears so make sure you have the tissues to hand.

An amazing and emotional read that I highly recommend.
