"Loved this new story. I wish the characters were someone I could relate to more - someone more down to earth and all around 'american' but I could still relate to them and believed the story line."
— Steena (5 out of 5 stars)
“Scotch crafts a plausible story, complete with a capable and prickly protagonist, that doesn’t resort to any movie-of-the-week amnesia clichés. A dry-eyed modern take on healing and forgiveness.”
— Kirkus Reviews“Scotch has drawn a fully three-dimensional heroine in Nell, and the story’s pacing perfectly mirrors the protagonist’s increasing rate of self-discovery. Scotch peppers her chapters with pop-culture and musical references, giving the story a modern, lively feel…A breezy yet introspective examination of one woman’s history.”
— Booklist“Bestseller Winn Scotch sparkles in her captivating fourth novel…She particularly shines in creating secondary characters—especially Rory and Anderson—flawed but engaging. Readers will love Nell and won’t be able to put the book down until they know how much of her past she wants to bring into her future.”
— Publishers Weekly" Three, maybe more stars. About a plane crash survivor with amnesia, trying to piece her life story back together. Pretty good, mostly clean "
— Kristy, 2/3/2014" Allison Winn Scotch once again creates a character that you may not always love, but that you feel empathy for. I particularly appreciated the twist near the end. "
— Brandydoyle, 1/7/2014" Nell is one of two survivors of a widely-covered plane crash. When her physical injuries heal, her amnesia remains and she has to be introduced to the people in her life, including a husband, mother, sister and missing father. As she finds her way, she is able to reinvent the parts of herself that she finds she didn't like. This is a book that is easily read; however, there is nothing memorable about it. "
— Pat, 1/2/2014" Really a 2.5 star book. Had a hard time getting into it but it was ok. "
— Diana, 12/19/2013" Great easy read. I was hoping the songs would play more into the story. "
— Jennifer, 12/6/2013" Easy read. I liked it! Appreciated that it didn't devolve into a sappy love story. "
— Jen, 12/2/2013" Didn't like the mom - very cliche hippie, felt overdone. Couldn't relate to any of the characters. Depressing. Not an awful book. 2.5 Okay. "
— Nicole, 12/1/2013" I was really into it when it first began but then it wore on me and I didn't care for the resolution. Nell became annoying to me. The premise was intriguing though but I think what Alice forgot was a better amnesia story. 2.5 stars "
— Alissa, 11/17/2013" I really loved this... until the ending, which was incredibly disappointing and not at all satisfying. Is Scotch going to write a follow up? Otherwise, it seemed to me that things were completely unresolved. "
— Laura, 10/21/2013" Amnesia seems to be the disease to write about. I enjoyed this book because it explored different types of relationships and boundaries. the plot had enough twists to keep me interested "
— Lisa, 7/30/2013" Here's a perfect example of a terrific premise ruined by lifeless writing. There is little here in terms of character development or momentum, and, by the end, I couldn't care less about what happened to the dull and colorless characters. "
— Martha, 2/12/2013" Good beginning. Boring from the middle all the way to the end. Didn't care for any of the characters. "
— Rosario, 12/30/2012" If you were in an accident and lost your memory, who would you be?A most interesting book. "
— Marion, 7/26/2012" After plane crash, Nell's memory is wiped out and she has to rely on the narratives of who she is as told by her mom, sister, and husband. "
— Michelle, 7/7/2012" Nicely crafted story. Most satisfying end. "
