Sunny Shelly’s Review: Until We Are Gone, by Gia Riley

I wanted a family with Cash.We had dreams –building a house, kids, a dog, and, yes, even the white picket
fence.

Or so I’m told.

I don’t remember anything about my husband. Not the wedding or the vows we
shared.

The past ten years were erased and with time, they’re supposed to come back.

But this isn’t your typical case of amnesia

What if I’m not supposed to remember?

What if I was meant to forget?

Maybe I don’t want my old life back.

Because if the accident hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have uncovered the truth.

Losing my memory wasn’t tragic.

Losing my memory was fate.

What do you do when you wake up one day and all of your memories of the past decade are gone? In Until We Are Gone, Meadow is suffering from amnesia after a devastating car accident. She’s struggling to come to grips with her new reality, and the fact that her memories aren’t returning. As a result, she turns to the bottle, and her alcoholism just drives her further into a hole she can’t claw her way out of. And no matter how hard her devoted husband, Cash, tries to help his wife, their marriage may just be too fractured, too broken.

In addition to Meadow’s struggle with addiction, Until We Are Gone is a romantic suspense that a lot of plot twists. So many plot twists that the story is completely upended, and the reader is given an entirely new perspective to the situation.

So why only 3.5 stars? In the end, I ultimately had too many questions and felt like there were too many loose ends. The big reveal fell rather flat after all that build-up, and I thought it deserved more attention than that. It left me feeling rather unsatisfied by the time I finished the last page.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
