Interesting! It’s the kind of plot where you sort of know what happened but need to read the story to learn how it develops. And on top, there’s a low thrum of suspense because there’s something afoot and this time, you have no idea what it is!

This book was riveting because it was like climbing uphill with a heavy weight in your backpack, it all feels so hopeless. Reina wakes up from a concussion and lost all her memories. And on top of having no memories, she has a fiancee she doesn’t remember but who hates her with a passion. He even calls her monster and there are several incidents where he’s specially cruel and scary with her.

She’s taken to her guardian’s house to recover, where her hateful fiancee Asher also lives. Her guardian Alex is also Asher’s father. I can’t imagine how it must feel to live in a house where everyone knows you and your history but you have no inkling. And on top of things, Reina is beginning to discover that she was evil through and through. Selfish, entitled, cruel. When she starts attending college again, she realizes just how ample her misdeeds are. She made up pranks designed to hurt those more vulnerable, she was spiteful with everyone she deems below her, she’s hateful to the servants in her house.

As the days pass by and she keeps on learning truths about her past behavior, she realizes it doesn’t jive with her present attitudes. She has dreams and passing thoughts that also don’t jive with who she thinks she is. Asher is still hateful but starts to get confused. There’s a murder that happened near where she was found concussed and she’s a person of interest in the crime. Her guardian is also her lawyer and her deceased father’s best friends. There is information about the past that feels incorrect against her feelings.

This story was riveting because there are a lot of happenings that add to the uncertainty and no information to clear up, so the title sounds so apt for what is happening in the book. I would say it’s all the lies and all the uncertainties, LOL. The book ends with a cliffhanger and the expectation that all the lies will be cleared up in the sequel. I have my suspicions based on Reina’s dreams so will be waiting impatiently for All The Truths!

THE CLIFFHANGERRR??

Okay but how did Reina suddenly ‘feel safe’ with Asher? Like there was no feelings or anything between them and suddenly she likes him
