If you can't trust your head, can you trust your heart?
If she had been found moments later, Amelia's heart would have stopped and never recovered. Instead she was taken from the desolate beach to the nearest hospital just in time to save her life. When her sister Lexi arrives from New York, Amelia's heart is beating, but the accident has implanted a series of false memories. These memories revolve around a man named Sam, and a perfect love story that never existed.
Determined to help her sister, Lexi enlists the help of Nick, a local vet who bears a striking resemblance to Sam. Together, Lexi and Nick recreate and photograph Amelia's dream dates in the hopes of triggering her true memories.
But as love starts to stir between Lexi and Nick, they must navigate a complex web of emotions. How can Lexi fall for Amelia's dream man without hurting her sister?
Filled with breathtaking romance, heart-wrenching emotion, the magic of destiny and the power of sisterhood, The Memory of Us is a must-read for fans of Holly Miller and Colleen Hoover.
What did I think?
Dani Atkins is one of my favourite authors so I was delighted to get an invitation to join the blog tour for new noveI, The Memory of Us. Oh my word, this beautiful book broke me into a million pieces and I didn't simply cry, I sobbed through the second half of it. I had to put the book down on numerous occasions to dry my eyes or the book would've ended up in as soggy a mess as I was.
A phone call in the middle of the night is never good news and Lexi jumps on the first available plane home to visit her sister Amelia in hospital. Amelia is lucky to be alive but she's not the same girl as she was before her accident; Amelia thinks that she has a husband called Sam but her family know that Sam doesn't exist.
It's heartbreaking when Amelia looks to the door of her room every time she hears footsteps in the corridor but she is waiting for a man who will never appear. Upset and frustrated by her family's doubts about Sam's existence, Amelia draws a picture of him and in a strange twist of fate Lexi meets Nick, who looks just like Amelia's drawing.
This book is filled with so much love that it bursts out of the pages and I absorbed every drop of it into my heart. I cared about the characters so much that I couldn't contain my emotions and I was so riveted to the book that I kept trying to read even when my eyes were blurring with tears.
The Memory of Us is a beautiful and unforgettable multifaceted love story that is filled with emotion. I simply adored it and I plan to read it again, although I'm sure I will still cry my eyes out at the same points of the story. I really can't recommend it highly enough and make sure you have a box of tissues handy when you read it.
I received an ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
