Not exactly the shocking thriller I was expecting; on the contrary, the plot was very predictable. Our heroine Aria is a successful sculptor, living in a small house in the woods with her husband Austin. I liked the fact that she is, despite the fact that she’s lost all her memories of the first thirty years of her life, so successful in what she does. Her mind is in shambles but her hands remember what to do to create exquisite art. She’s very much in demand and earns good money, which she needs because Austin is a writer, or so he claims, but not earning anything. The story begins with Aria lying on the ground in the woods, just after the accident that robbed her of her memories. Or accident? Was it really and accident.
We follow Aria trying to get a grip on her life, mainly because Austin is increasingly trying to take over everything she wants and needs. He’s only ever sitting in his study writing a book but from what we read about that book, is it clear from the start that it is a horrible book without a real story but just one long rant about how women are taking over men’s lives. Aria is constantly working, cooking and cleaning because she still believes she can help Austin to get back on his feet. We know better… men like him are very set in their ways and believe they are right to behave like he does.
Aria manages to find an excuse to go to a therapist and soon it becomes clear to this therapist that there is something really wrong with Aria – but not to her own fault.
A very predictable story with rather predictable characters and not really shocking, but it had its good points and I was curious as to how it all started – and would end.

I picked up I Remember You on a quiet afternoon, thinking I’d read a few chapters while sipping my coffee. Big mistake. Hours later, my coffee was cold, my phone was ignored, and I was completely consumed by Aria’s unraveling reality.

From the very beginning, I felt Aria’s unease creeping in. The amnesia, the seemingly perfect yet isolating life in a remote cabin, and the husband who should be her safe place but feels more like a stranger—it all made for an incredibly tense read. I found myself mentally screaming at her to dig deeper, to remember, even as I worried about what she might uncover.

Theo Baxter does an incredible job of making the reader feel as trapped as Aria. The small, unsettling moments—Austin’s carefully chosen words, the inconsistencies in his version of the past—slowly build until you’re doubting everything right alongside her. And when the truth finally starts to surface? I gasped out loud.

This book completely took over my day, and I have no regrets. If you love slow-burning psychological thrillers that spiral into jaw-dropping revelations, I Remember You is absolutely worth the ride. Just be prepared to forget about everything else once you start.

I Remember You is the first book I’ve read by Theo Baxter. I loved it! I didn’t want to put it down! It was a little frustrating at times, but overall a really good thriller with some twists! I will be reading more of his books!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

A psychological thriller that was fantastic! My first book by Theo Baxter and it won’t be my last. It kept me guessing to the last page.

These kind of books always get me. The description of the book is what drew me in and i’m not disappointed! I love the storyline, but it does give me anxiety lol

I read this in a day. I couldn’t put it down. Loved all the mystery and suspense in this story. Aria has no memory of her life before the accident. Only a dream that makes no sense, yet invades her nightmares! This was such a good story, gripping psychological thriller, you won’t want to put this one down!

Aria West suffers from retrograde amnesia, with no recollection of her first 30 years. Living in isolation with her agoraphobic and controlling husband, she starts to question everything she’s been told after experiencing intense nightmares. Are these dreams fragments of returning memories? And if so, what do they reveal about the truth she’s been made to believe?

While the premise intrigued me, I found the story highly predictable—I guessed the twist almost immediately and kept hoping for an unexpected turn that never came. Aria’s choices often left me frustrated, making me want to scream at her, though I could understand them given her limited options. Despite my frustrations, I was invested enough to keep reading, eager to uncover the details of her past and see how she would ultimately escape her circumstances.

It has been two years since Aria woke up in a hospital with no idea who she was. Luckily her husband was there to fill in some of the gaps and now she is an artist making a living selling her sculptures. All is not calm in her life, though. She keeps having the same nightmare and now she is starting to remember her past … or is she. Her husband is not supportive of her trying to get her memories back. Why?

I Remember You is a stand-alone thriller that had a lot of potential yet was extremely predictable. Without spoilers, it was easy to know where the story was going next; the only reason to read the book was to learn how the characters discovered the truth. If you love to hate characters, then this is the book for you. I was screaming at Aria (in my head) most of the time I was reading the book because I didn’t understand why she put up with everything. I Remember You should be added to your TBR list if you really want a predictable read.

I enjoyed this book so much. It was gripping and I couldn't stop reading it. It was full of mind-games and twists, making it impossible to put the book down.

Aria lost her memory due to a head injury. She´s living with her husband and her life seems perfect. But she keeps having nightmares and fragments of memories keep coming back to her - only that they don´t match the narrative her husband set for her.

I loved how the author dived deep into characters. The story was well developed and the way the truth slowly reveals is so gripping. Even though the ending is foreseeable, it´s not about that. The author really concentrates on the story and deepening the characters, unpacking their trauma and issues.

I finished the book within few days because I just couldn´t stop reading. Great book!

Another fantastic read by Theo Baxter.

This story was so interesting yet sad. The fact this type of thing happens is just insane.

The mind is a delicate organ yet strong and can withstand
so many crazy things.

If you want to read a master and story telling then you need to grab on to Theo Baxter’s books. You won’t be sorry.

Honestly this was not the greatest book, the plot was so predictable, I could tell where the story was going almost immediately. Yes, there were some twists and turns that I didn't see coming but it was still easy to figure out.

Poor Aria had no memories at all of from before her accident and was having nightmares that seemed to be from her past and like they were memories that she should have. Austin was a good A douche, he was so manipulative and gaslighted her so much that I almost didn't even finish the book because he was just so annoying. Her therapist was about the only character I liked other than Aria because she didn't deserve the things Austin put her through and he helped her get through so much.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

This is the second book of his I’ve read and i definitely enjoyed the suspense. I loved the plot of the FMC who has lost her memory and is trying to figure out what happened to get here to this place. I will say that the flashbacks didn’t move the story forward and the MMC’s “red pill” mindset and behavior made me want to put the book down. I’m glad i pushed through to find out what really happened. I enjoy his writing so I’ll definitely be exploring more of this catalog.

this is such a good book! It has so many good twists and turns, and I love the way it flowed. I really enjoyed this book, and the build up of suspense was great!!! I like the way this was written, and how the characters were written!!

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

I was able to pretty quickly pinpoint the twist but the writing was fantastic. And the book was hard to put down. I enjoyed the main character and how easy it was to get pulled into the story.

Thanks to NetGalley for the copy of this ARC. This will be out on March 30!

I really enjoyed this one. It was hard to put down. It kept me wanting more. The characters are amazing! And I love the title and the story line. Such an amazing book!

A great read! From chapter one I remained on the edge of my seat rooting for Aria to get everything she deserved.
This is a story of struggle, love, self re-discovery, and new beginnings.

Living the perfect life seems to be the thing that we all strive for. At surface level, Aria has it all. She has a successful, and lucrative, career, a husband who insist on her safety, and a stable cabin safety tucked in the woods. Her life makes perfect sense; however, she can't help the nagging feeling that something is "off."

Theo took me on an emotional rollercoaster that had me second guessing everyone and everything in the book. I Remember You is an amazing read, I completely inhaled this book. Once I finished the read, the story felt complete. I would absolutely recommend this book to other readers.

This was an amazing and brilliant thriller. I got through this one in one-sitting and it was just very great.

Fast-paced, edge of my seat all the way long.

Thank you for this ARC. This is an honest feedback.

Aria west suffers from retrograde amnesia following an accident two years ago. She can’t remember anything about the first 30 years of her life. Aria and her husband, Austin live in a cabin out in the country, away from most people and places. Aria has nightmares and flashbacks and is struggling with all of her lost memories. This book is dark and twisty. I was able to figure out the plot pretty early on in the book, but it is a quick, face paced thriller for all to read. For some, there are some trigger warnings for this dark & suspenseful read. I absolutely hated Austin but it makes tons of sense why after finishing. I would love to read more of Theo Baxter’s books after devouring this one so quick.

While writing this, I'm still wondering if I should rate it 5 stars instead. But I guess if I'm hesitating, the answer is probably no. With that said though, this was GREAT.

I love thrillers, I love the fast pace, I love reading about villains who piss me off, I love wondering what the twist is. This one had it all.

I initially started it in the evening, right before bed, thinking I'd do a few chapters. Ended up awake until 1am because I could not put it down. The way the emotions and the confusion with the FMCs amnesia and all that it brings on was described made the whole experience incredibly immersive. I loved the writing style in general but more specifically felt like the mindset of Aria was written so well.

Sure, her choices and actions made me angry. But that's what makes it good. Not even gonna talk about the MMC because I will go into a fit of rage over the disgrace of a human that he was. But once again, written SO well.

The one thing though, that I also feared might happen, and that pulled it down to like a (very strong) 4.5 was the ending. It was predictable from about halfway through the book, which in itself didn't even really bother me, but I just dislike those cookie cutter "2 months later" style endings. They're more fitting for romance, I much prefer for my thriller to cut off at a point that gives some resolution but also leaves me wondering how the characters went to live on.


Overall, a very enjoyable experience, just the pacing I wanted from a thriller and I will definitely need to look through the authors other works.

Big thanks to Netgalley for providing this copy in exchange for an honest review.

I Remember You had me completely absorbed from the very first page. Aria’s struggle to piece together the fragments of her past, and the unsettling feeling that something is off with her husband, Austin, was so well done. I could really feel her confusion and fear as she tried to make sense of her memories and the inconsistencies in Austin’s story. The suspense built gradually, and I couldn’t wait to find out what was really going on. Aria’s journey to uncover the truth about her past and reclaim her life was gripping, and the twists kept me on edge. The mystery surrounding her head injury and her husband’s behavior was unsettling, and I loved the tension that built throughout. A solid four stars for its emotional depth and a plot that kept me guessing until the very end.
