this was so good. it was surprisingly well written considering the fact that Flora

has anterograde amnesia and

struggles to form new memories so a lot of the descriptions and her experiences seem like they happen “all over again”. however, it was written in a way that there was just enough information to understand what exactly was happening and why. 

the plot twist was very unexpected but also rly sad and made me appreciate Paige and Jacob more. honestly i loved the unexpected informational aspect of this book about psychology and how weirdly the brain works. 

i would have given it 5 stars but it was quite heavy (or at least heavier than i’d have liked) with romance which a lot of people love but just isn’t really my thing, which is okay. 

still a great book. as always please check the TWs!
