I can’t remember my own name

A stranger arrives in a village in England, but can’t remember her name. She’s lost all her personal belongings in an airport and thinks she’s heading home, but that’s not the case when she gets to the house and someone else answers the door. Tony and Laura are nice enough to take the stranger thing, but who is she? Someone who used to live in their house, a convicted murdered, the daughter of one of their neighbors, or a Russian spy?

“The Last Thing She Remembers” by J.S. Monroe started off great! I was intrigued and really wanted to figure out who this woman was. There was so much potential, but I just found myself confused most of the time. There were a lot of characters, a lot of characters, and a lot of back and forth between locations like England, Berlin, India, and the US. The author also had a few different characters that looked alike to help with the plot, but that just confused me more.

I really wanted to love this book so I kept reading. I figured some of the ending out, but not all of it which was good. I do think this could have been edited to be a bit shorter eliminating some of the external characters which would have made it less confusing.

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
