Review: I absolutely loved this book! - I absolutely loved this book! I am rarely caught off guard with plot twists and there were two that I did not see coming. So exciting! I immediately put three more of her books in my desertcart "saved for later" list, only choosing not to buy them instantly because I am trusting my gut that someone may buy me one or two for the holiday since I kept raving about how much I loved the book as I read it. Either way, I will be reading more soon, whether I get them for myself or receive them as gifts. I can't wait!
Review: Mutliple twists - In the description of this book, Amber is in a coma, her husband doesn't love her and sometimes she lies. Amber believes that her husband has something to do with her being in the hospital. I started out reading this book and I really didn't like it. I didn't like Amber, I didn't like her sister Claire. I hated their parents. The only two people I liked were Matthew, her producer and Jo, her best friend. Neither of these characters had big parts. Then about half way through, this book turned around. I still didn't like the characters, but more was happening and it held my interest. This book is written in 3 different timelines. The first is the childhood diary, written between 1991 - 1992. This gives enough of the background, as the story goes on, to understand the writers childhood, her fears, her anger and her hurt. The 2nd timeline is December 2016 - 1 week before the accident. As this unfolds, we can see what the events were leading up to the accident. Then the 3rd and final timeline starts the day Amber realizes she is in a coma. She can hear things, she can feel things but she cannot communicate. She has dreams, she has memories, she has fears. A few readers have questioned if they has missed the "twist". There seem to be a few twists in this storyline. NO SPOILERS - the biggest one for me happens when the diaries are discovered by Paul, (Amber's husband). I had to re-read that section a few times to grasp what was really happening. The very end seemed to be left open. A bit of a cliffhanger perhaps. I found myself wondering, "where are the lies?". I also wondered why she appeared to have OCD, that didn't seem to be addressed. There were parts of the story that seemed unfinished or I had forgotten about them until I got close to the end, THEN they were all answered. Overall - 4*s since I found myself hating the characters, I had a hard time getting into the story. But I am glad that I stuck with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Captivating Yet Confusing
*by W***N on January 22, 2026*

I really want to rate this a 3.5-3.75. A 3 is too low but it’s not a 4. It took me a while to really get into this book. After the first twist, I was locked in. As the twists grew more plentiful, so did my confusion which I know thrillers do BUTTTT this might have been a little overdone. I couldn’t put the book down at one point because I was intrigued but partially because I had to reread parts to make sure I was getting it right. It was a good read that kept me on my toes while scratching my head.
