Thank you to the author for the review copy. All opinions are my own.
Remy loves her solidarity life on a remote island off the coast of Maine. She found refuge here after a past trauma, and she has built her life around routine and certainty. But when she sees a man bobbing in the ocean out her window, she throws her day's plans out to go save him. Bringing him back home, she realizes he's not only injured, he is also very handsome and has no memory! She embarks to get him healed and connected back to who he is, but she may have to confront who she is along the way.

This book is so endearing. Remy and the unnamed mystery man (I'll let you discover his identity with him) are opposites even before he starts to gain back his memory, and their banter was so fun.
The amnesia trope is really growing on me. And this one was done so well! The way his memorys are unfurled as he recovers serves the plot so we'll and never feels unearned. Extra fun is there is a side romance in this one that really could have been it's own fun book. Maybe Becky, you can give us a novella from their perspective?!
But back to the main story, I love how the book has multiple points of view through out, and from people other than just the two main characters so that there are layers sprinkled into the plot. Bonus: it sets us up for the next books in the series!
Content Warning: This books touches on murder, sexual assault, and infidelity. DM me if you want more information.
