Freya thought she had found the man of her dreams, romantic, kind. But as soon as they were married everything changed and Phil showed his true colours, lashing out at her violently on multiple occasion. But just as Freya is at her breaking point, and ready to leave, Phil has a terrible car accident, and when he comes around can not remember the last to years of their life together, conveniently everything since the honeymoon.
This writer can clearly write, her words flow well but this genre doesn't seem like her natural stomping ground. within about five minutes of starting to read I pretty much had the whole story sussed out, and spent most of my time reading waiting for the twist that said, oh no your wrong, duped you. But it never came.
Instead it rambles on, very slowly and very repetitively. And I failed to connect with any of the characters. All I wanted was for it to end.
Best I can give this one is 2 stars. It's so frustrating though, because I feel like this person can write, just not a Thriller, she seems more like a chick lit type of writer, or a romance at a push perhaps a cosy mystery.
As always thank you to NetGalley, Karen King and her publisher for allowing me a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
