My thanks to Net Galley for another great listen!

What is real and what is not? That is what Eve Adler is trying to figure out. This story is told from an alternating narrative. First, Eve wakes up in a hospital and was told she was in a car accident and sustained a brain injury. Her husband, Lee is with her. The alternating perspective is from Eve s childhood, which includes her best friend Sara, who is her husband's sister. Sara also died in an accident. For Eve to get well, she needs to confront her past, which reveal many secrets. I myself was questioning what was real and what was not.

I enjoyed this very much...Engaging narrator. A little confusing, but good story.

While the premise for this book was good, there was so much back and forth and so much confusion surrounding the main protagonist that I couldn't get interested in the story. I felt like I was lost much of the time. The narrator did a good job delivering the story but there were just too many components to the story

When Eve suffers a traumatic brain injury, she finds herself remembering her past in bits and pieces and forgetting much of her present life. The past is told on the birthdays of either her best friend Sarah or her own, but they aren’t told in order and bounce around causing the story to be a tad difficult to get into. As Eve tells her story, the reader isn’t quite sure if it’s true or if it’s her head injury talking. With a twist I should have seen coming, this was an entertaining listen with a narrator that fits Eve’s character perfectly.

This book follows Eve. In the opening of the story, Eve is in a terrible car accident. This causes brain damage and begins causing her to go in and out of frequent fugue states. In these states, she goes back in time to when she was younger.

The idea is great, however, this book was hard to get into for me. I enjoyed the greatly developed characters and I wanted very much for this book to wow me. Unfortunately, the constant back and forth was hard to follow.

Interesting take in a life flashing before your eyes. I was confused at times and then at the end got an "makes sense" but just seem to just drop off. Still interesting book just not a favorite.

Thus could have been more enjoyable. But it just didn't hit home for me! I think its there but it fell flat.
It could have been better!
