You’ve got to love an unreliable narrator, and who could be more unreliable than an amnesia patient?
My favorite thing about All You Took From Me, was how meticulously it unfolded. We are in the story with Clare, who has awoken from a coma with no memory of what happened to get her there.
We go through it all along with her, within her psychology. Something catastrophic has happened in her life, and while she scrambles to resume what little normalcy she may, the lack of memories surrounding the accident haunt her. Things she thought she knew may not have been so true after all, and she is willing to risk more and more in order to find out the truth—no matter what.
This book gripped me from the very first pages and I was locked in through the entire thing. Twists, turns, suspicions, and rash actions…all of it. And what a ride it was! If you’re a fan of books like Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney and Caller Unknown by Gillian McAllister, you’re going to love this one!
Note:: I received an early copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
