Following a vicious mugging, Clementine Jones awakens with no memory. In an attempt to learn about the person she was and the life she lived, Clem approaches her ex-boyfriend, Ed Larsen, only to learn that she broke off their relationship with no explanation. Ed is wary of trusting his heart to Clem once again, but cannot seem to walk away from her. Can Ed and Clem find their way back to each other?
To begin with, the amnesia trope is one of my favorites, and Scott handles it very well. It is wonderful to see Clem grow into the person she was meant to be without the memories of her past traumas influencing her personality and behavior. It is not that original Clem was unlikable per se, but rather that she allowed her doubts and insecurities to rule her life. She becomes a more open, trusting, and loving person in the aftermath of the attack.
Ed is a fantastic hero. His struggle to overcome his anger and heartache over "old" Clem's actions is portrayed very realistically, and it is very satisfying to see him learn to accept, trust and love the "new" Clem.
The minor suspense plot revolving around Clem's attack is the weakest part of the book as the culprit is obvious from the moment they are introduced.
Andi Ardnt's narration of the audiobook is excellent and she makes the characters and the story come alive.
All in all, this is a delightful read, and I will definitely continue with the series as well as read other Kylie Scott books.
