Wow, if you like melodrama between the main characters for basically the whole book then you are in for a treat! I personally am ok with it, although I would have liked a little more happier times for these two.

Basically, you have Chloe being forced to spend time with her wife that has "done something to their relationship" but doesn't remember that fact after an accident. So you can imagine all kinds of internal torment that is rampant in this book.

Side characters were ok. There was a little too much internal dialogue but was kind of expected because every interaction between them brought on the cases of "should I tell her, do I want to tell her...yada yada".

Writing was great. I'd read another book from this author so that's a plus. Overall a pretty good, yet slightly tension filled, read.

This book is a masterpiece. That is an incredible statement for me to say because personally I would find it extremely difficult to believe that a relationship could truly survive infidelity. This book has changed my mind, and changed my perspective as well. Shay and Chloe are faced with exactly that situation. The author adroitly captures the crushing heartbreak, the seething jealousy, the vacant despair, and the cold-hearted abandonment of trust in the one person who betrayed everything. However, fate has a way of throwing plot shattering cannonballs that force a person to reevaluate everything whether you want to or not. Secondary characters play a pivotal role in deciding whether Shay and Chloe will survive, but nothing about this book is predictable other than the initial emotional onslaught of betrayal upon discovery. Set aside any preconceived notion and take this journey with Shay and Chloe, and I guarantee that you will have a lot to think about long after the last page is read. I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have enjoyed all of Dena Blake’s books and the synopsis of this book entrigued me. But after reading the entire thing I have to say that this is my least favorite of all of her books. Chloe and Shay’s relationship was in shambles prior to Shay’s accident. Fortunately or unfortunately when Shay awoke from her medically induced coma, she couldn’t remember the past year. The lack of communication between the two mains and the absolute lack of respect they had for one another prior to and after the accident really put me off. There was so much back and forth drama and angst with the same issue being discussed over and over. I honestly liked both main characters, which I attribute to Dena’s great writing, but I honestly didn’t care whether they worked it out or not.
