The story starts off good... it has an air of mystery about it .. it keeps you turning the pages until the very end to find out what happens and you finally learn the truth.. it leaves you mind blown! it's an enjoyable book to read! The characters are interesting and likeable!

I can usually intrigued by the premise of this book, but on believe me of the characters and their actions quite a turn off. You need to work to make the unbelievable believable in order to sell the story. This one just drags

Thank you to Harlequin and NetGalley for an advanced read in exchange for this review.
A woman arrives at a train station. Her bag has been stolen. She doesn’t remember her name. She shows up at a house she thinks she lived at. Police suddenly take an interest in her arrival. She becomes the subject of conspiracies among the village’s people. Why? Who is she?
This book started off strong. However, the plot dragged on and on. There are a couple of possibilities of who this woman could be, and the story does not do a good job of explaining why. The last part of the book is spent trying to wrap up the main lead, but it falls flat in doing so. It’s overly complicated and feels like a completely separate story while you are wanting the author to explain why people thought she was this person. I was entertained, but the story was much longer than it needed to be.

Started out well and then just lost the thread. Became repetitive and uninteresting, and I wasn't motivated to continue reading

ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

This book has some great twist and turns.

An unnamed woman suffering from amnesia she wind up in a quiet village where she meets multiple people who recognize her but can't place where.

Even though this is ok read I didn't like how she put herself in uncomfortable situations and let it go. I did like that as she put her memory back together it was tied to other storylines in the book.

"I can't remember my own name." The first line of J.S. Monroe's The Last Thing She Remembers will draw you in and keep you guessing to the very end. I love a book with great twists and jaw-dropping reveals and this book delivers both in great measure. An unnamed woman suffering from amnesia turns up in a quiet English village with no belongings and no recollection of her identity. Multiple people recognize her, but can't recall exactly how they know her. What follows is a fast-paced wild ride as the woman begins to piece together who she is while those she encounters piece together their own stories. Multiple story lines converge to reveal shocking events of the past and fill in the gaps of memory forgotten. I highly recommend this thriller!

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

I really wanted to love this book. From the synopsis it seemed rather interesting. However, I felt that even though she had amnesia she seemed to rely on her other senses less. She put herself in situations she was uncomfortable with and let things go that she knew were wrong or people were lying about. The mood of the book is portrayed very nicely though.

You arrive at a train station ready to depart when you realize all of your important papers are gone, passport, credit cards – gone. Keys, laptop? Gone. You try to report the theft only to realize you don’t even know your own name. Your amnesia is caused by stress and the town where you thought you lived is filled with people who eye you with mistrust and fear. The local police seem more than a little interested in you too. What do you do, where do you go and who do you turn to? In a world where we all leave such a huge digital footprint, a situation like this would be utterly terrifying, and this story is all that and more
