A review by bookishvanessa
The Prettiest One by James Hankins

3.0

This book had its ups and downs but leaned more heavily toward the downs for me. Caitlin/Katie entered a fugue state as the result of a traumatic events and has no memory of the last seven months of her life. She and her husband return to the town where she spent the last seven months and team up with the boyfriend she had during that time period to determine what happened while she was in the fugue state. Interesting premise but the execution was just so-so. There were a lot of loose ends, and I just could not understand why Josh and Caitlin would not call the police. I stuck with it just to find out the backstory and to see where it all ended, but I don't foresee this book staying with me for the long haul.
