I enjoyed the alternating points of view. There was so much going on in this story that kept me on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed all the psychological suspense and all the lies.

I wanted to read this before I watched the upcoming series with its amazing cast. Tv show + a stunning cover? Immediately have to read. I really liked this. It was a bit more slow-burn than I was expecting but it worked with the plot and characters. I love psychological suspense and this is a real mind-twister. The whole concept— a woman who can’t remember the last year of her life because of a head injury— is fascinating. Pick this one up! Thank you to Simon & Schuster for my gifted copy!

I received at complementary ARC of this book from Netgalley on behalf of the author and the publisher.

This book was boring and a struggle for me to read. Maybe it would be better if it wasn’t considered a thriller, my expectation was for more thrill and less of what was going on in this story. I was really disappointed and I don’t like giving negative feedback.

I loved this book and cannot wait to read more from Robin Kirman! It is engaging and unforgettable! The characters are unique, and the writing style is beautiful.

I like this romantic/domestic psychological thriller story. It wasn't really a thriller, but I still liked it.
The End of Getting Lost is a story of Gina( a young dancer), and her artistic husband Duncan taking place in the year 1996, before cell phones and before the internet was widely used and all kinds of communication was readily available. Gina has suffered a previous head injury (amnesia) and cannot remember a whole lot about her life with Duncan, who she is in a loving relationship with. They are on a cross country trip through Europe, and so excited for an adventure together and to re-kindle their relationship. The story is well written and characters are slowly developed. I liked it, but I was just expecting more of a thriller. A special thank you to Simon & Schuster via NetGalley for the advanced readers copy in exchange for my honey review.

The End of Getting Lost by Robin Kirman relies on the lack of technological advances in 1996, as artsy couple Gina and Duncan find themselves "off the grid" in Europe when a romantic vacation takes a turn after Gina suffers a head injury.

As much as it pains me that '96 is considered period at this point, I enjoyed the premise, though the narration style took away from the overall execution to me.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me. All thoughts are my own.

ooh, this was a interesting mystery. I liked the unknown the feeling we were just as confused as Gina. But as things were slowly being revealed, I definitely had a more elaborate idea of what might be happening than what the actual conclusion was. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's always a bit of a let down when things turn out a little more simple than I'd hoped.

Good mystery and I liked we didn't have a huge cast of characters to get to know. Just a few we got to know well. It was a quick, short read.

A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.

I was excited for the idea of this book - a psychological thriller about a wife with memory gaps and the husband who may not be who he seems. It ended up being disappointing with characters that I did not care about and found unlikeable at best.

2.5 stars. I normally read a book in a few hours, this one took me about 5 days. It just didn't click with me.
Thanks to netgalley, the publisher and the author for the chance to read this advanced copy.

The End of Getting Lost is a phenomenal thriller from start to finish. Filled to the brim with twists and a captivating plot, this one is sure to keep readers hooked. The characters are well-developed. The story is incredibly fast-paced. This is one not to be missed! Highly recommended! Be sure to check out The End of Getting Lost now.

This book was a snooze fest. Maybe it would be better if it wasn’t labeled as a thriller because expectations wouldn’t be so high. I could barely pay attention because of how boring it was. The revelation was kind of dumb too. I’m so sorry Robin. This is a dud.

A solid read told in the POV of the two main characters. A slow pace read that can be enjoyed on a nice hot day by the pool. I don't know if was intentional, based on its slow pace. The vibe between the two characters didn't come off as believable. It was the writing by the author that made me stay until the end.

I enjoyed this book. A young married couple, Gina and Duncan, traveling through Europe in 1996. Both have many skeletons in their closet that come up in the past and present. Gina suffers a head injury and is not as sharp as she was but what she remembers is very scary and causes many repercussions.

Duncan is mesmerized by Gina. He’s a composer and she’s a dancer. They get married. Gena suffers from a head injury when she gets in an accident. What happens, both the truth and the secrets they are keeping from each other, create a suspenseful tone.

1996. Before cell phones and the Internet went mainstream and everyone was sharing every minute of their lives on social media, it was quite easy to literally “get lost.” A person could disappear from their former life without a trace and rest assured that it would be quite the feat to track them down. Robin KiRoman plays on this concept in her new novel The End of Getting Lost, about a couple whose European honeymoon veers off course when the wife suffers a head injury and can no longer remember the last year of her life.

When Gina is involved in an accident on her honeymoon, she can’t recall any details of her previous life. She is dependent completely on her husband Duncan to fill in the blanks. But can she trust Duncan’s version of events? As they travel from one romantic destination to the next, Gina can’t help but feel that Duncan is keeping secrets from her. Does she really know this man that she has married?

The End of Getting Lost is an intriguing story of literary suspense. Told in dual POVs from both Gina and Duncan, readers are given front row seats to their relationship’s past and present, exploring how they came together and the circumstances that brought them into their current situation.

As you are reading this book, it quickly becomes apparent that you are not being given all of the pieces to this puzzle. From one chapter to the next, this novel unravels more and more of Gina and Duncan’s secrets until you are left feeling as if you can trust no one’s version of events. While I wasn’t the biggest fan of Kirman’s execution, I was quite taken in by her plot and was curious to see where this story would go.

With that being said, I really liked some aspects of The End of Getting Lost, but also intensely disliked others. I feel like this is a book that I cannot recommend without giving a disclaimer because it is not going to be for everyone. Readers who like a more mainstream, fast-paced thriller will quickly grow bored with this novel’s languid pace and literary writing style. For those who do enjoy introspective, meandering novels that feel slightly high brow, then The End of Getting Lost will be right up your alley.

Recommended to fans of S.J. Watson’s Before I Go to Sleep.

2.5 stars

The End of Getting Lost, billed as a psychologically suspenseful love story, has the potential to live up to its description. It's just too bad that there is not enough time paid to actually building the necessary tension throughout.

The book itself is reminiscent of novels from the Lost Generation, stories of American ex-pats wandering through Europe without a care for the world or each other. Like those novels, The End of Getting Lost gives us a pair of broken characters attempting to reconcile themselves to their own darkness. However, the structure of the book and the constant flashbacks do not really help in connecting either the character arcs or the suspenseful elements. It often feels like rather than combining both into one story, both exist separately and are constantly colliding. The last 20% are what actually deliver on the marketing blurb, but it definitely feels a little too late.

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for an ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review!

The End of Getting Lost. while sounds similar to several other stories already told, takes this in a different direction solely because of the time period. I was young in 1996 but I can actively remember not having a cell phone or access to the internet, so to put myself in this situation of not knowing who I am and not having any way to look up anything, this gave me the cold sweats several times. Well done!

I received an advance copy. All thoughts are my own.

This is a title that really sounded good at one point but my tastes changed and now I’m no longer interested.

I received this book as an ARC in exchange for a review. Thank you to Simon & Schuster.

What would you do for love? Lie, deceive and mislead? Gina and Duncan are traveling through Europe on their belated honeymoon. Or are they?

As the story unfolds it is revealed that Gina, a dancer, had left Duncan 7 months before because she caught him with another woman. Duncan does everything he can to win Gina back but she won't come back to him. He is tipped off to her location by a stranger who knocks on his door wanting him to sign the divorce papers. Duncan races off to Europe to try one last time to get Gina back only to discover that she has had an accident and when she wakes up, she has forgotten all the about the marital problems with Duncan.

This is the chance that Duncan has been waiting for and takes full advantage by going along with Gina's scenario of newlywed bliss. Duncan wonders how long it will be until she remembers the truth but he doesn't care and chooses to enjoy it for as long as he can. He has to keep Gina from reaching out to family and friends who might tell her the truth. He intercepts her letters and postcards and tells her not to call her father or best friend because they've had a falling a falling out. They travel to Vienna, Prague, Rome and other European destinations but how long will it be until Gina remembers? Worse still, friends and family were hot on their tales and soon the charade will come to an end.

This was an enjoyable read but I think a little more could have been done to increase the intensity and suspense to make it more of a thriller.

Great premise and well thought out to place it before cell phones were commonplace. As someone who remembers exactly what that was like, I appreciated that detail. As far as the execution, it was ok, but not quite absorbing.
