ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review

I am not going to lie, when I first stated reading The Memories That Make Us, my initial thought was "oh this is Nineteen Letter by Jodi Perry again".

Whilst yes there are similarities at the start, the way the story continues has a totally different feel.

Gracie and Blake's story is one of loss and heartbreak, frustration and fear. We know things are not going to be easy for them after the accident, and whilst I got completely frustrated with Gracie's actions, I could understand her reasoning for it.

Not going to lie, I did want to throw my kindle at her at times for her actions. Yes, she turned me violent!

Blake - oh how my heart hurt for him. I wanted to give him a big ol' hug.

I adore the secondary characters, particularly Scarlett and Tilly.

There is a big twist in the tale that I certainly was not expecting. I was all like Keanu going "woah".

Well played Ms Carnvale.

The Memories That Make Us is heartbreaking, frustrating, beautiful and most of all hopeful. It makes you think how you would do things if you got a second chance.

I read this book in one afternoon, and now am impatient for what Ms Carnavale gives us next.
