If you love a good thriller this book is for you. Nicola has a condition which means she can remember everything - the good and the bad and years later can recall what happened and feel however she felt all over again. Growing up in London she lived opposite her soulmate, Dec and next door to her best friend Kat. Then everything changed - in one fateful night when Dec’s father (a local notorious businessman goes missing).

Nic learns the hard way that love hurts so after heartbreak at an early age lives a simple life protecting herself from hurt and painful memories. Until the past comes back to haunt her - the body of Dec’s father has been found.

The story is told both in the present and memory - and right up until the last chapter you’re still not quite sure who is guilty. The subtle and cleverly devised plot allows the reader to unwittingly realise that the thing that has been missing is context - although she knows what she has seen she does not necessarily understand what’s happening and why. It’s only as an adult she can look back at the things her teenage self experienced and try and piece together what really happened.

I really enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting!

This is an enjoyable and intriguing suspense thriller.

It’s gripping (I read it within two days!) and full of tension, twists and turns.

The story is told through two timelines, then and now. It is a slow-burn but the depth of background set up the ending nicely.

The characters are crafted well, some are likeable but none are perfect and I ended up suspecting each of them at various points.

I found the main character particularly interesting, not just because she has hyperthymesia but because of the feelings and views she has of other characters throughout the story. Her thoughts and actions were frustrating at times but I think that helped build needed tension.

I would read another book by S.K. Sharp.

Thank you NetGalley, Random House UK, Cornerstone and S.K. Sharp for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book was so creepy!! I loved every minute. Highly suspenseful, I loved the main character and was rooting for her the whole way. Lots of twists and curveballs, I couldn't read it quick enough.
