I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had a few suspicions as to what was going on, the similarities had me thinking it was one thing but I audibly gasped when the twist revealed itself. It was very clever and even tho the thought had crossed my mind early it was squashed by the other ideas circling. I also appreciate seeing a side of DV that is more mental and manipulative and clever as it's not all fists and fury and I think this was well written.

It was well written, but the “twist” was more obvious than I thought it would be.
I had an inkling only a few chapters in that the guy was the same in both POVs but thought maybe he was living a double life. I felt confident that the two MCs were the same person before I hit the 50% mark. Not really a surprise!


Still it was a fast read and I can’t deny I was captivated and motivated to keep reading.

If you are looking for a fast paced psychological thriller, look no further!

There’s not a ton of character development here, there’s not a ton of in depth analytical musings on life, etc … but it’s a super quick read that you’re not going to want to put down to see how it all comes together in the end!

I suspected one twist fairly early, but another totally surprised me in such a good way! I really enjoyed the pacing and how all the clues were left out, and I did think the author did a terrifying job of showing how insidious some relationships can be. (Check those Content Warnings, for sure)

As of April 2023 this one is available on Kindle Unlimited and I would recommend it, especially if you’re looking for a quick weekend read or something to get you back on track for a reading goal!

The Forgetting was a well written mystery that kept me on my toes. The plot was unique, and I haven't read a mystery quite like it. I enjoyed all the twists and turns. There was good build up, and the ending wrapped everything up pretty nicely without dragging.
