Adrift by Lisa Brideau was interesting in the beginning and held my attention for a while. I felt like so much could have been added to make the reader better understand and feel the main character. The introduction of Rene was a give away for me and I kept waiting for this character to come back. There was a lot I skipped because I felt it was just filler. I was unfamiliar with the area this book took place in and really don’t feel any more educated. Thanks for the opportunity to read this book.

Having received this as an ARC and not knowing the author, I was looking forward what this book and its story would be like.
This book was very good from beginning to the end. It kept me wanting to read because I wanted to know what was going to happen nexr. The protagonist was a likeable character and made me quickly sympathize with her and what she was going through. The descriptions were spot on to being able to visualize everything.
Having this book set in the future was interesting as well. Even though I am not a person who typically likes futuristic books, the storyline was set in a not too far away future that could easily be imagined. It was not placed into a too futuristic setting that would appear incredible.
Absolutely enjoyed this book and I look forward to readingbmore from this author!

A good effort by the author of a first novel. She had an excellent story in mind, and I’m confident as she matures as a writer that the characters will develop more depth and the plot design will be build added interest.

Adrift by Lisa Brideau was a quick, entertaining and fun debut.

For this to be her first novel IMO I think Brideau did a great job at keeping the suspense alive and the characters engaged.
Which this is a personal preference but I wished there more action, more intrigue.
But other than that the writing was great and the characters caught my attention right off rip.
The storyline was wonderfully done.
I will most definitely pick up another book she writes in the future.

Sourcebooks Landmark,
Thank You for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this eARC!

What a job well done for a first novel. This was something that I read in just a few short hours and wish there was a little more depth into the characters at some point. This is a talented new author and I look forward to reading more titles in the future.

Thanks to NetGalley, Lisa Brideau, and the publisher for allowing me to read this book.

This book didn't capture me immediately, however it does hold redeeming qualities. I appreciate the character development and the plot, though it could be slow at times. The memory loss component was compelling.

Thanks to NetGalley, Lisa Brideau, and the publisher for allowing me to read and review this debut author’s book.

As a thriller, it was strongly encompassing. It was different in that the story was set in the future and the main character’s role was markedly different from other novels. It is about knowing yourself and what is important to you as an individual. It combines mystery with emotional and seriously physical conflict and puts the heroine in some unbelievable situations. It’s a great read from this debut author.

This was a little hard to get into. It drew my interest but struggled to keep it a few times throughout. What I did like was the setting a little into the future and seeing the realistic possibilities it holds, but in a scary way. Reading about someone with memory loss is always fascinating to me and this one's revelations we're just as intriguing and at the same time frightening. Three Stars.

Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for this ARC.

I didn’t get through the first ten pages

I couldn’t understand what was going on because everything was happening so fast. There was no pause for understanding and no dramatic build up
