I received this book from Harper Collins in exchange for an honest review.

Video review (spoiler free): https://bit.ly/3g39Ygi

Amber Reynolds is in a coma. She can't remember what happened to her but she soon realises she didn't end up in hospital by accident. In flashbacks, Amber slowly begins to remember the days leading up to her accident and begins to suspect everyone around her. The only problem is, Amber is prone to lying. So what happened to her, and who's really to blame?

This book has trigger warnings for OCD, anxiety, sexual assault. **

This book was definitely the definition of a thriller for me. I was so tense reading this book - I could feel my whole body on edge, my heart was racing at times. There were a few moments i actually felt the urge to throw the book across the room because of what was happening or what was being implied and I couldn't handle it but at the same time, I needed to keep reading! This is a book that will leave you gasping, shaking, yelling at the pages and feeling utterly baffled at the same time, and I love it.

I went into this book only knowing three things - the main character was in a coma, she believed her husband no longer loved her and that she sometimes lied. Within a few chapters of the book, I began to soften towards Amber. There were a lot of things seemingly going on in her life that made me feel for her and i wanted things to work out for her. But then a while later, I reminded myself with one of the facts - Amber was prone to lying so how could I, as the reader, believe anything she was saying? Suddenly, Amber changed and became an unlikable character to me and I loved this transition. There were moments I felt for her and other moments when I just had no idea what was happening or who I could believe. I felt completely lost but in a great way, and in a way I come to expect great thrillers to make me feel.

I didn't like the fact that Edward actually full on raped Amber when he thought she was still in the coma. I feel like the actual rape didn't have to happen and the author could have stopped at the whole 'sticking his fingers up her' which would have been traumatic enough. My stomach just turned at that whole scene and I just think it was unnecessary and only there for shock factor. It also didn't seem like, at the end of the book, Amber had any PTSD over the sexual assaults she went through and realistically, I feel like after being assaulted on several occasions and raped, she would have some issues she would need to work through. The end of the book did that little round up thing that I didn't really like. One of those and this person is here now, and this person is doing this now, and it just reminds me of movie and TV show finale endings and it kind of irritates me in books. The very, very ending did leave me a bit shocked but also slightly dissatisfied as it had me like, "What now?".

Eventually some things begin to add up, and I eventually guessed some of what was going to happen but it didn't take away any enjoyment of the book for me. It was a really great read.
