[guessing at the star rating / mining my old FB notes now that they are almost impossible to find]

this is a book that must be read quickly, at least if you get absorbed into the plot :) i started last night and would have read through the night (such was my drive to find out how who to trust) but in the end, reasoning - and bed - won out.

the entire plot occurs in ONE day. the narrator wakes and remembers nothing - she has amnesia and has spent the last 20 years not knowing anything of her life since the accident. but she's kept a journal for the past few weeks and this comprises the middle book of the novel, so you get caught up on events. then there's the climax of the story in the last section and it's quite the shocker. and that's why we're driven to read it, right? the ending? i guessed a few scenarios which would have been lame and was thankful the author found a better way to end it.

now, i wouldn't say the book is realistic. or particularly well written... but if you are just looking for a wild ride within your own head as you second guess all the clues, then this is your book
