Synopsis:

Driving home, Margaret Holloway is rear-ended and trapped in the wreckage of her car. Just as she begins to panic, a stranger pulls her free and disappears. Though she escapes with minor injuries, Margaret feels that something's wrong. Flashbacks to the crash are dredging up lost associations from her childhood. And somehow, Margaret knows that it's got something to do with the man who saved her life. As Margaret uncovers a mystery with chilling implications for her family and her very identity, Everything She Forgot winds through a riveting dual narrative and asks the question: How far would you go to hide the truth-from yourself?

Critical Praise:

“Ballantyne’s effortless prose took me across the Atlantic and didn’t let me return until its surprising and satisfying conclusion. A tight story that comes full circle and keeps you reading.” — Bryan Reardon, author of Finding Jake

My Review
 Just imagine realizing that something happened to you when you were younger but, you cannot remember exactly what it was.  Something about a car accident that you were in or maybe you witnessed. This story is full of twists and turns and questions. Was there a crime? Who is the person who saved her life? Is he a friend and has she seen him before? Why won't anyone help her remember?  I really liked this mystery. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for a review. These are all my opinions.
