Kat’s Rating: 3/5
Kat’s Review: I find with Lisa Jewell books I either love them or I feel indifferent, there never seems to be an in-between…until now! Alice is our first introduction and she sees a man sitting on a beach. What starts as a mere conversation to check on his wellbeing turns into a mission to help this man who has lost his memory! I liked Alice but found the whole storyline a little incredulous and that sort of put the mockers on it for me.
Aside from not liking the idea behind the story, the writing itself and the characters I had no problem with. As time passes Alice and her new found friend ‘Frank’ start to try and uncover his past and this seems to happen in stages. In another are entirely waits Lily a newly married woman whose husband failed to come home.
Now it didn’t take a genius to figure out which element of the story fitted in where however the reasoning behind it was not something I was prepared for. I would say this book is a little out of the ordinary and certainly not a bad book, just one that I didn’t entirely gel with.
