I honestly don't know what to write about this book...it was INCREDIBLY DISTURBING. And yet, I was so totally & completely hooked that I couldn't put it down. I read the whole thing in one afternoon!

Yes, it's about a girl who has amnesia. Yes, it's about her memories as they start coming back & revealing snippets of her life & who she is. Yes, she finds a great love in those memories.

But it's really NOT that simple. The book has two realities--a "real world" and a "memory world"--and so much is left up in the air...it stays very confusing & yet completely engrossing from start to finish.

A good read??? One I liked??? I honestly can't answer either question. I think, like the book itself, it just...Is What It Is.
