About this listen
One woman is about to discover everything she believes - knows - to be true about her life...isn’t.
After hitting her head, Lucy Sparks awakens in the hospital to a shocking revelation: the man she’s known and loved for years - the man she recently married - is not actually her husband. In fact, they haven’t even spoken since their breakup four years earlier. The happily-ever-after she remembers in vivid detail - right down to the dress she wore to their wedding - is only one example of what her doctors call a false memory: recollections Lucy’s mind made up to fill in the blanks from the coma.
Her psychologist explains the condition as honest lying, because while Lucy’s memories are false, they still feel incredibly real. Now she has no idea which memories she can trust - a devastating experience not only for Lucy, but also for her family, friends, and especially her devoted boyfriend, Matt, whom Lucy remembers merely as a work colleague.
When the life Lucy believes she had slams against the reality she’s been living for the past four years, she must make a difficult choice about which life she wants to lead, and who she really is.

Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend, Sarah, giddily introduces her new boyfriend: the man from the bus.

Franny Doyle is having the worst day. She’s been laid off from her (admittedly mediocre) job, the subway doors ripped her favorite silk dress to ruins, and now she’s flashed her unmentionables to half of lower Manhattan. On the plus side, a dashing stranger came to her rescue with his (Gucci!) suit jacket. On the not-so-plus side, he can’t get away from her fast enough. Worse yet? Someone posted their (entirely not) meet-cute online. Suddenly Franny and her knight-in-couture, Hayes Montgomery III, are the newest social media sensation, and all of New York is shipping #SubwayQTs.

Ho hum; Not much happens
This is my first official two star book. Usually when a book is this bad, I quit reading and don’t rate it. The thing is, I was curious to find out what happened to the main character, and I kept thinking it would get better. By the time I realized it wasn’t going to get better, I only had a couple hours left in the audiobook. So I sped up the narration and finished it.
The main character, Lucy, has false memory syndrome and thinks she is married to a former boyfriend instead of the guy she’s living with when she suffers the concussion. Nothing much happens in this book. It’s just a lot of listening to Lucy whining and trying to figure out what’s real.
Most of the story is told in the first person from Lucy‘s point of view. There are some scenes that are presented as if her boyfriend is sharing a story about their past that she doesn’t remember. The narration changes to third person, but it is still being told from Lucy‘s point of view. And yet she doesn’t remember the story, so how can it be told from her point of view? It just makes no sense.
The ending was expected and nothing special.
The narrator was okay. She was a bit cloying at times, which was actually perfect for the character.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
