Great read!! I could not put this down until the end. Lots of guessing and excitement to keep you engrossed. The ending has a super twist that will knock your socks off. I definitely recommend this book. I will be looking for other books by this author.

what a whirlwind!! I couldn't put this book down- wanting to find out just as a bad as the narrator what happened...

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read that I couldn't put down, anxious to find out who did it. It is a perfect summer beach book. At times it felt more like Bridget Jones lost her memory, but the ending made up for it.

I started reading this a bit before my usual bedtime last night, and I was hooked from the first page. It quickly became one of those, I'll-just-read-one-more-chapter books that kept me awake later than I should have been.

The author did an excellent job of telling the story from Mia, the main character's point of view. I got to see how unsettled and even frightened Mia felt that she couldn't remember anything about her life before she was washed up on the beach. She didn't know what her life was like before, or anything about friends or family.

The conclusion was completely unexpected; however, it was also believable and that made the book one I am happy that I read.

This is a decent thriller even though it is a bit predictable for those of us who read a lot of this sort of thing. The writing zips along. Mia is an interesting, if sometimes unlikable character. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. Boland has written a novel with an interesting premise and followed through. I'd like to see more from her.

I kept seeing this on various to read lists. It was a bit scary at times. Definitely a good read.

Disappointing ending.

As much as this book was compared to Gone Girl, I didn't read Gone Girl or see the movie, so this was new for me. I love thrillers, but they must be believable - that's part of the thrill!! The characters are flawed, giving them a reality check. It made me think of what I'd do if I lost my memory. The twists and turns kept coming, and it kept me intrigued and entertained and made for interesting discussions with friends. I'm looking forward to seeing what else Shalini Boland delivers -- and whoever did the cover should be commended and kept for future books -- it draws attention immediately!
