There were a lot of characters in this book, which might be why I couldn't fully get invested in the story. There always seemed to be so much going on.

More than just a memory: A healing experience

Such a difference to my normal reading genre and was a fresh well needed break from the serial killers i had been reading prior to this one! SHANE BRADEN Memories are never forgotten. Or so it’s said, but she did. She forgot herself, me–us. She forgot everything. One day I woke up and there was only pain. This pain so fierce that I can’t overcome it alone. My heart was ripped out of my chest. I’m surviving, but barely. Not even the physical outlet I seek, to purge the torment of remembering the one I can’t let go, helps anymore. In all of his agony, what if the worst of his pain has yet to be expelled? A secret that could have changed everything . . . had he known. WHITNEY LANE Every day that I wake up I’m in a fog. Before ten years ago I feel like I didn’t exist. Everything I knew had been erased. Some days I wish I had bad memories because even those would be better than none at all. Instead, I feel like I’m a character in a storybook, merely acting a role. I don’t know why, but none of it feels real. That’s crazy. Right? Still, I can’t shake the feeling that everyone is hiding something from me. Even the man that lies next to me at night feels like a stranger. I just want to feel like I belong in my own skin. Everything in her life feels borrowed, but that’s a secret better left unspoken. More Than Memories by N.E. Henderson – eBook Details I also couldn't understand how Shane and any of his friends or parents never knew that Whitney was alive and married Blake. They all went to school together. How was it possible that his name never came up in all those years with other classmates. It just didn't seem believable. If they had lived States away, it might have felt more genuine, but it just seemed so far fetched to me. Every family has their own traditions and ways to celebrate the holidays, some that have been passed down for generations. Making a list of the different traditions your family has and including it into your memory book can be a great way to get excited about the holidays. Write down your favorite thing about a tradition, how it started, and why it’s important to you. Paste pictures of your favorite decorations, and write down family recipes. Journaling for peace and calm High school graduation is supposed to be the ending of one chapter and the beginning of another. The excitement of college comes and the mystery to what the future holds. Mine ended in tragedy, and although my life didn’t end and the world didn’t stop turning around me, my heart still broke.

The romance was a slow burn, and deliciously angsty. I really loved Shane and Whitney together. They were memorable and highly developed characters with plenty of layers. Admittedly, while I love angst, there were some twists that were thrown in that felt a little OTT on the drama department and read almost like a soap. Don't get me wrong, I typically gobble that shit up with a spoon and beg for more. But with the way things unravel at the end, it just felt like a bit much. A little less drama and a little more angst and emotion would have sufficed for me. But obviously you can't please every reader. Man sollte meinen, dass die sich nach 10 Jahren und Gedächtnisverlust annähern müssten oder erstmals wieder kennenlernen…. Nope. Die 2 machen dort weiter wo sie aufgehört haben. Egal, dass sie verheiratet ist und zwei Kinder hat. The book is beautifully written, in dual POV and kept me on my toes with each heartfelt word. A story full of drama, love, suspense, betrayal, that captivated me and made me ache along with the characters. I didn’t expect that it will be such a combination of feelings – sadness and joy, hope, hate(some people do terrible things for money and some are plain crazy). But I do enjoy a story in which the power of love overcomes the imaginable and ends with a ‘foreverly after’.

Has he really been looking for her—waiting for her—for the last four years?I really wish i had read the first book More Than Lies before reading this one even though it can be read as a standalone novel but i would recommend new readers to read More Than Lies first.
