Now she’s an edgier, more laid back (because she’s actually lived through worse than whatever minor inconvenience is happening at any given time) version of her old self. She could no longer be the pastel-colors-loving, high-strung, high-maintenance girl she was before the attack. She had to figure out everything-likes, dislikes, feelings, past skills-through this new lens of a survivor. The way she thought about herself as a “before” and “after” person (she was one person before the attack, she’s a completely different person after the attack) was fascinating to me, and it felt realistic. She might not remember the attack that robbed her of her memory, but it changed her nonetheless. I was sure she’d pull it off, and she did.įirst of all, I love Clem. I didn’t hesitate to buy it, even knowing that I hate the amnesia trope. But because Kylie Scott is magic, apparently, I loved this book. I think my days of watching soap operas back in the 80s and 90s ran that one into the ground for me.
