For fans of One Day, What Alice Forgot, and the hit film Sliding Doors, comes an absorbing and surprising debut novel about a young woman who, after an accident, gets a second chance at life . . . just not in one she remembers.

Rachel Wiltshire has everything she’s ever wanted: a close group of friends, a handsome boyfriend, and acceptance to the journalism program at her top-choice college. But one fateful evening, tragedy tears her world apart.

Five years later, Rachel returns home for the first time to celebrate her best friend’s wedding. Still coping with her grief, she can’t stop thinking about the bright future she almost had, if only that one night had gone differently. But when a sudden fall lands her in the hospital, Rachel wakes to find that her life has completely changed. Now the people she loves most are not the way she remembers them. Unable to trust her own recollections, Rachel tries to piece together what really happened, and not even she can predict the astonishing truth.

All the way through this book I kept wondering how it would end. If I had enough imagination to have figured the ending out, I would be writing it. The whole story took on a new meaning. enjoyed and recommend this book.

This is a very muddled story which did not keep my attention at all. To make it worse, the book is just one short sentence after another, and the narrator conveys each one in the same slightly breathless voice. I listened for two hours, during which time absolutely nothing of interest happened. So I exchanged it for something better.

Listened for two hours and nothing really happened
