Format:Hardcover
I've waited all year for this book to be released since I first heard the storyline which I thought was amazing. It lives up to every single expectation. Abby walks under a ladder and gets hit on the head and is told she may lose her long term memory. To try and prevent this she makes a list of unforgettable things to do with her life, and her family and friends row in and help too. The items on the list were wonderfully inspiring but I particularly enjoyed Abby's changing relationship with her family and the tender way this was explored. I was also completely gripped by her relationship with Finn and what was going to happen between them, as throughout there was this compelling undertone that something was going to go wrong. Like Melissa Hill's other books, this was a complete pageturner and I just can't figure out how she does it. Fantastic book which I would recommend to anyone. Well done!

This is the first Melissa Hill book I have read, and it didn't disappoint. I could hardly put it down. I was gripped by Abby's story. She has an accident, and afterwards is warned that she is likely to suffer memory loss, though the doctors are unsure as to how bad this will be. There are so many twists. The theme of doing the things you've always wanted to do, Abby's relationship with her various family members and friends, her romance with Finn, and her character generally, as she battles against losing her precious memories, all add up to make a heartwarming story. I'm looking forward to reading more of Hill's books.

Format:Paperback
Had my reservations about this as the cover is ghastly and the back description doesn't tell you much about what it's really about but a friend has been raving about this author so against my better judgement I decided to give it a try. It was such an inspirational story about Abby who has an accident and will lose her memory. I was fascinated by the medical stuff and on the edge of my seat all throughout when she kept getting lapses and I couldn't wait to find out if she was indeed losing her memory. The love story between Abby and Finn made it even more gripping and their meeting in New York at Christmas was so touching and beautifully described that I got goosebumps reading it. If I'd known that New York was going to be featured in this book I'd have bought it in a heartbeat as I am a sucker for books set there especially at Christmas. All in all a fantastic book and a big surprise for me. My friend was right and I have just ordered another Melissa Hill book.

Great but not my favourite of hers

I liked it, I just didn't *love* it
My first read of a Melissa Hill book and I think I started with the wrong novel of hers- given that I've heard so many good reports about her work. Read more
