I just finished Wake Me Up by Devon Ashley, and I have to say, it was a mixed bag for me. The premise was intriguing - a girl wakes up with amnesia after a traumatic incident she doesn’t remember, and the story focuses on her piecing her life back together, reconnecting with people, and uncovering some hard truths from the past two years.

The emotional depth and the protagonist’s journey were definitely the highlights. Watching her try to rebuild relationships and face the gaps in her memory kept me turning the pages. There’s something raw and real about how the story portrays healing and rediscovery.

However, the book has some issues that held it back. The grammatical errors scattered every few chapters were distracting and pulled me out of the story. It really needs a thorough edit before being considered polished. Another downside was the reasoning behind the attack. I couldn’t connect with the motive, it felt weak and underwhelming. The idea that an obsession over someone could escalate to that extent, with no deeper layers, didn’t sit right with me.

That said, the book has potential. With the right corrections and stronger writing, it could become a really solid story. For now, I’d give it 3 stars ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ interesting but flawed. If you’re into stories about resilience and recovery, this one might still be worth checking out.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read, review, and give my honest opinion.
