Help Me Remember by Corinne Michaels
3.0
I wanted to really like this, as a quick read, romance and a bit of intrigue, but I was sort of disappointed.
The premise in its own right, was a bit of a stretch. I don't see how she would be a reliable witness whether or not people told her things, she still experienced memory loss and that can be fought in court.
The character of Brie. Well. Didn't love her. It's the sort of MC in which the world revolves and yet she lets life happen around her, her decisions were not the sharpests nor were her reactions to a very difficult situation for everyone, not just her, and she seemed unable to understand others point of view sometimes.
The character of Spencer, well, he was slightly better. The book did pick up from his POV, save for the fact that he seemed obsessed with how much she loves Brie, couldn't breathe without her to a point where it got a little intense.
The friends were the best part of the book. Brie did not deserve them really.
The ending... Well... It depended on Brie being silly, the intrigue being predictable and easily resolved, and an epilogue that streched a bit much.
I enjoyed the love story from Spencer's perspective for the most part and the friendships, so overall 3/5.
