We have our main protagonist, Ellie, who’s dealing with blackouts that last from short to long periods of time. Because as the book kept going, it kept throwing even more surprises into the mix (that actually made a lot of sense, shocking I know) and it left me wanting more after it’d ended. I’ll admit that, after a while, I guessed what was wrong with her but it definitely didn’t ruin any part of a book for me. Mental illness thing surprised me because it was not mentioned even once anywhere. I just knew that the synopsis sounded interesting so I decided to give it a shot. Hell, I didn’t even know what it was exactly about. To be honest, I had no idea what to expect from this book at all. I probably need to calm down because this review will be full of gifs and rainbows and puppies if I don’t (okay not really but you get the point, I guess).
Now onto the full, spoilerish review where I can reveal my madness completely. Too much cursing, I am sorry.) So basically, it was a four star book for me at the beginning and it stayed the four star book till the end. (Okay, this part will not be included in my NetGalley feedback. And I don’t think the romance in this book can be called a ‘love triangle’ because the book is fucked up so it doesn’t follow any pattern the other YA books do. Just know that I am so amazed that this book kept the same pacing and the same quality to the very end, as well as it didn’t make any awkward plot twists and added something completely unnecessary. In fact, this review will probably be one big spoiler so if you don’t feel like finding out some of the main points in the book, read no further. Okay, so, basically, this is impossible to review without any spoilers because synopsis don’t give much away. Heartbreakingly beautiful, this poignant story follows one girl’s harrowing journey to finding out who she really is. Perched on the edge of insanity, with horrific memories of her childhood leaking in, Ellie struggles to put together the pieces of what she’s lost-starting with the name haunting her, Gwen. When Ellie goes missing for three days, waking up in the apartment of a mysterious guy-a guy who is definitely not her boyfriend, her life starts to spiral out of control. But her blackouts are getting worse, more difficult to disguise as forgetfulness. It started out small…forgetting a drive home or a conversation with a friend. Sixteen-year-old Ellie Cox is losing time. One minute she’s kissing her boyfriend, the next she’s lost in the woods.
