(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

My name is Hope Ardern, and you won't know who I am. We've met before - a thousand times. But I am the girl the world forgets.
It started when I was sixteen years old. A slow declining, an isolation, one piece at a time.
A father forgetting to drive me to school. A mother setting the table for three, not four. A teacher who forgets to chase my missing homework. A friend who looks straight through me and sees a stranger.
No matter what I do, the words I say, the people I hurt, the crimes I commit - you will never remember who I am.
That makes my life tricky. But it also makes me dangerous...

I read the blurb and thought that this could go either way - either a really cool mystery/thriller/suspense novel...or an examination of what it is like to be lonely and unmemorable. What we got was more of the latter...

While I did get plenty of the suspense and intrigue, it seemed to just take too long to evolve, instead leaving me with a sense of everything was just held back a little, trying to seem a little more "deeper" than it needed to be.

The most ironic part about this book, of course, is the character of Hope. The character herself is forgettable - with all the rambling about inconsequential stuff, it was easy to just drift off page after page waiting for it to stop. It was cool for the first few pages...over 450 pages it got quite annoying...

Would I recommend it? Absolutely - I think there is a very good book here for someone who is looking for a little more than I was...

Thank you for the opportunity, and making this book available to me, but this title did not fit my reading needs at this time.
