This one took me by surprise, I suppose I should have read some reviews first. I wasn't expecting MlM, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was reminiscent of The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. The mystery and tension was built well. However, I felt that the story fell short a bit toward the end with some important plot points occurring by pure chance. I also think some of the character choices toward the end were out of character and constructed to take the story where the writer wanted it to go, rather than allowing it to go where the characters would have taken it. Overall though, I enjoyed the story.
