Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for the gifted ebook to write my honest review.
How can you fight for a life you can’t remember?
One moment I was just living my life, finding my way in the world. The next I woke up in a hospital bed with years of my life missing.
The man by my side – Rob, my husband – looks familiar, but I can’t remember marrying him. I can’t remember our life together. Most haunting of all: I can’t remember anything about the last five years.
Rob keeps telling me that everything will be fine, that my memories will return, but something feels… wrong. Why does our flat feel so unfamiliar? Why does he flinch when I ask questions? Why are none of my friends and family in touch?
The more I try to piece my life back together, the more I question everything – even myself. Who is Rob, really? And can I trust him? More importantly, can I trust myself?
A compulsive and obsessive read that will have you saying ‘just one more chapter!’ Perfect for fans of Before I Go To Sleep and Alice Feeney

The Man She Married should not be started after 4 pm! Once you open this book, please do not expect to surface until you know everything! Or, is that just me?
Alison Stockham writes a psychological thriller that fulfils the genre in every way. So cleverly written that it had my full attention constantly. Beth wakes in a hospital bed. She has no memory of the last five years. She can’t even remember marrying her husband, Rob. These things haunt her as she attempts to put her life back together. She struggles to feel at home in what’s meant to be her house, there are no family or friends to visit, and she wonders who Rob actually is.
I always appreciate an unreliable narrator, and in this book, it adds so much atmosphere. The claustrophobia was stifling for me, with Beth and her confusion. The uncertainty of her thoughts and what she was questioning had me on edge. I didn’t know who to believe. The reality seemed so blurred as the story unfolded. I changed my mind so many times as the chapters flew by.
The twists and turns just added to my uncertainty, never mind Beth’s! I was that invested. I seriously read it without a break. I stayed up way too long to finish it. A thrilling, tense, and twisted psychological thriller that will satisfy so many readers.
