Christine wakes up every morning in an unfamiliar bed with an unfamiliar man. She looks in the mirror and sees an unfamiliar, middle-aged face. And every morning, the man she has woken up with must explain that he is Ben, he is her husband, she is 47 years old, and a terrible accident two decades earlier decimated her ability to form new memories.
But it’s the phone call from a Dr. Nash, a neurologist who claims to be working with Christine without her husband’s knowledge, that directs her to her journal, hidden in the back of her closet. For the past few weeks, Christine has been recording her daily activities - tearful mornings with Ben, sessions with Dr. Nash, flashes of scenes from her former life - and rereading past entries, relearning the facts of her life as retold by the husband she is completely dependent upon. As the entries build up, Christine asks many questions. What was life like before the accident? Why did she and Ben never have a child? What has happened to Christine’s best friend? And what exactly was the horrific accident that caused such a profound loss of memory?
Every day, Christine must begin again the reconstruction of her past. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more unbelievable it seems.

The ending left me wanting, as well.
The story itself was quite good though. I enjoyed it quite a lot and often found myself not wanting to turn it off. Maybe it is one you are better off reading, not listening to.
Different...

Well worth the credit

The plot seems to be cribbed from the film Memento someone with memory loss is trying to reconstruct their life.
It is not a bad book but if you have seen Memento you have seen this story told in a much more thrilling.
It could have used a bit of an editor as it did drag. But it was well written/narrated enough that I listened to it in one day. Which does say something about the quality.
However writting about the book the following day none of it really stuck with me (much like the narrator's life).
A decent enough book but nothing new . . .
