Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

Lots of layers here and a very interesting premise. i loved Before I Go To Sleep but this one doesn't quite hit the same mark. There were a few times when my interest waned a little.

This is beautifully layered emotional book.
The characters were well rounded and spoke to the reader through the pages.
This novel is so well written

Your partner has had a mysterious accident, leaving them with no memory.

They don't remember anything: how you met, your first kiss, not even your wedding day.

An experimental medical treatment promises a cure. A chance to relive the memories.

Going through with it might bring you back together.

But discovering the truth about the accident will tear you apart.

Do you walk away?

Or open Pandora's Box?

This was a beautifully written, mystery love story. The author's writing in this book is impeccable. He reaches out and discusses topics such as grief, loss and heartbreak whilst writing a psychological thriller. not a lot of authors could achieve this.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will look for more by this author.

This was an interesting and surprisingly emotional read about the lengths you would go to in order to have a loved one remember you. A really unique and original premise that I felt was well executed - I will look out for more from this author in the future.

The premise was interesting and this was what drew me to it in the first place. I thought that the execution could have been a little bit better as it lost interest a couple of chapters in and i just did not care what happened to the characters. The writing style was generally fine but it was not that special and was not that gripping compared to similar books.

Thanks to Orion Publishing Group and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

AMAZING! 'Forget Me' is a compelling, cerebral psychological thriller from an extraordinary talent. Andrew Ewart's supremely imaginative novel about memory and identity simply blew me away. This is a genuine psychological thriller that lives up to its billing, and the best I have read for years. This story is about husband and wife Euan and Hannah. Once a golden couple, and very much in love, their bond is unbreakable until Euan begins to distance himself from loving wife Hannah. Then one day Euan parks at a train crossing and refuses to move his car. The collision between train and vehicle leaves Euan with almost total amnesia. Hannah is a stranger and the secret Euan was on the verge of disclosing to Hanna on that fateful day remains buried in his damaged psyche. A desperate Hannah eventual turns to the Reel Memory Project to help restore some semblance of Euan's lost identity. Based on the premise that memory is a chronological contrivance of interlinked movie-like scenes, Euan begins treatment with the polarising Reel Memory Project. But something is wrong with the stimulated memories that Hannah has meticulously documented from her recollections. A strange, creeping fog encroaches on every scene 'played' from Euan's past. Something feels... well not quite right. This leaves the reader with numerous questions. Are Hannah's recollections to be relied upon? Is the Reel Memory Project the real deal? What was the nature of the secret Euan was withholding from Hannah? Like a master of his craft, Ewart, with pitch-perfect plotting and a narrative that simply oozes mystery and edge-of-your-seat suspense, gradual reveals all. This novel is a true puzzle, and a standout psychological thriller that leaves the competition in its wake. A literal page-turner, 'Forget Me' is the best psychological thriller of 2020 so far.

An exceptional thriller.
Euan and Hannah are husband and wife, they were happy but one day Euan took his car to the railway tracks and refused to drive further. Hannah got out of the car and Euan met with a crash made by a train.
He woke up after three months remaining in coma and lost all his memories. Now the new Euan is there who doesn't remember a single thing of his previous life.
Hannah's sister told her to call Reel Memory Project. They were a stable agency whose work is to bring back the memory by a certain type of technique and the results were 99% that their patients will remember their past lives.
Now Hannah and Euan are there in that process. Will Ryan's memory be back? Why Euan took that step? Is he hiding something from Hannah? Is Hannah hiding something from him?
Read this excellent psychological thriller to know all the answers.
Narration of the story is brilliant. Hannah and Euan's characters are electrifying.
Thanks to NetGalley and Orion Publishing Group for giving me an advance copy of this book.

If you loose the one you love but they are still with you, to which lengths will you go to get them back? This was a well written book, thought provoking and thrilling all in one. Recommended.

It was an excellent novel, with a strong cast of characters. I enjoyed the storyline very much and would definitely reccomend this book.

Forget Me was a love story at its very heart, an emotionally resonant and utterly compelling one- made more so by it’s speculative and mystery elements – Andrew Ewart allows his characters to speak, about their relationship, their secrets and their devastating losses and it tugs on the heartstrings. I loved it.

Brain injury, memory loss, changes of personality, all hit home on a personal level which made Forget Me particularly thought provoking for this reader. I have a friend whose wife lost herself to such an injury and I have no doubt that if the treatment described in Forget Me was a thing, he would have tried it and damn the consequences. Therefore I understood Hannah’s motivations here and devoured the whole thing in one sitting.

Beautifully written and cleverly layered we see Hannah and Euans love story unfold..under the strangest of circumstances, where nothing is quite as it seems. Forget Me has the best elements of a psychological thriller with all the emotions of a heart wrenching character drama plus an intriguing puzzle at the heart of it. What happened..why did it happen…where did this golden couple fall so hopelessly apart.

So much to love here, a right old page turner that has an intimate, atmospheric feel to it that leads you to a resolution you won’t easily forget. Very good indeed. Another to watch in 2020.

Highly Recommended.
