🎶 Somewhere in my memory 🎶

★★★✩✩

Okay, so that ending was ridiculous. I'm so glad that I'm reading this book now and not when the other books weren't published yet. That cliffhanger needs a resolution NOW!

Hanna wakes up in the hospital, not remembering anything from the last year of her life. Right away, I knew that something shady was just beyond her memory. She's wearing an engagement ring, signifying that her lifelong crush on Max finally led somewhere, but I was so confused by her actions. I didn't trust Max (and later found my skepticism justified) and wondered why she let herself be led into something she didn't understand. Who wakes up not remembering what happened and just goes with the flow? Hanna does. But then there's Nate, a man her heart knows but she can't remember. He looks at her like she sets the sun and holds the moon. He calls to her, but she has Max, who is everything any woman could want. So why not play with both of them?

"If he's into your sister, why are you with him? Why not be into a guy who's into you?"

I think Hanna was one of the most unsympathetic big girl heroines I've ever come across. She was a doormat for every person in her life. She allowed her mother to still dictate to her, force her into situations she didn't want, and continue to criticize her. She let her childish feelings for a man lead her down a road of drama and didn't see anything wrong with it. The only hint that she may have a backbone came at the end and I'm looking forward to seeing what she does with her newfound strength. BTW, I'm totally #TeamNate!!

Synopsis

The last thing I remember is having drinks at Brady’s and trying to avoid eye-contact with my life-long crush—the gorgeous, unattainable Maximilian Hallowell. They tell me that was a year ago, but I have no memories of anything since then. What I do have is this ring on my finger that Max says he gave me, and this much-thinner body I’ve dreamed of most of my life. Aside from a case of retrograde amnesia, everything seems almost...perfect.

But the deeper I immerse myself into this new world of mine—planning a wedding to a man I don't remember dating, attempting to run a business I don't remember starting—the clearer it becomes that nothing is as it seems. Do I have the life I’ve always wanted or is it a facade propped up by secrets I don't even know I have?

I need answers before I marry Max, and the only person who seems to have them is the angry, tatted, sexy-as-sin rocker Nate Crane. And Nate wants me for himself.
