"I can’t remember anything. Not even my own name."

When Mia James is washed up on a beautiful, sun-drenched beach, she has no idea who she is or what happened to her. She doesn’t even recognize her own face–until her boyfriend, Piers, comes forward, providing her with an identity.

Piers is handsome and attentive, Mia’s home is huge and stylish, and her friends are eager to help her fill in the blanks. As Mia steps into the perfect life she was living before her accident, she should feel lucky to be alive. But she struggles to adjust, lost for words around people she is meant to know and love, grasping for clues about who she really is.

And as her memories slowly return, Mia realizes something is very wrong. Her neighbors are avoiding her, her emails have all been wiped, and she is haunted by the face of a woman standing by the water. Too many things just don’t seem to add up, and she begins to question those closest to her....

What if nearly drowning didn’t happen by accident?

How does she know who to trust, when she’s not even sure she can trust herself?

From the million-copy best-selling author of The Secret Mother and The Perfect Family, this completely addictive psychological thriller will have you racing through until the final jaw-dropping twist. If you loved Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and The Wife Between Us, this book is for you.

Probably my least favourite of her books but still a good listen. Shalini Boland has become one of my favourite authors but I had a feeling this would not be a favourite, and I was right.
I just didn’t get as invested as I usually do. Her usual twist at the end was less impactful because I had less investment in the characters. I had guessed some of the twists and felt a little bit disappointed.
Katie Villa is one of my favourite narrators so I do enjoy the listening experience. I am, unfortunately, someone who will abandon an audiobook if the narration annoys me.
Having said all of that- it’s worth listening to. It’s still a good story, just not her best.

Always a good twist, but not her best.

I loved it. It was captivating throughout. However, it ended rather abruptly. But what a twist! The narration was fab, really embracing the characters. I love Shalini Boland as an author anyway, and she certainly never fails to captivate me. A definite 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

E.X.C.I.T.I.N.G : )

It seemed too long and drawn out. I just wanted to fast forward to the end to see what happened.

The story itself could have been much better. Found it a bit boring really.

Not exactly gripping

I Liked the premise for the story but sadly I don’t think it was very well executed. The ending, in my opinion, was predictable and weak. Shame as I have enjoyed a few of this author’s books. The narrator was good and kept my interest, otherwise I may have tuned out.

Nice idea for a story but ….
