My Review

Erin never forget her first love, Adam eventhough she married Greg for 10+ years. When she found out that Adam is back in town after 18 years and has lost all his memories including her, she found herself at a crossroad. Her marriage is in trouble, her husband gambled away their money and she also have to cope with her mother’s dementia and father’s mental health issues. Should she help Adam and risk her marriage to help him?

This book is a romance story which touched on not only love but relationship and family. Love all the main characters in the story which each of them have their issues. There are many flashback which provide insights of what happened before and these flashbacks was very well written. The story is told by Erin in dual timeline and as I read, I can feel her anxiety and her struggle in every decision she make. Overall it is a good read to me.
