"A page-turning romantic feast that will have you desperate for more. I was immediately hooked." —#1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken
From New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott comes an irresistible new romance.
When a vicious attack leaves 25-year-old Clementine Johns with no memory, she's forced to start over. Now she has to figure out who she was and why she made the choices she did - which includes leaving the supposed love of her life, tattoo artist Ed Larsen, only a month before.
Ed can hardly believe it when his ex shows up at his tattoo parlor with no memory of their past, asking about the breakup that nearly destroyed him. The last thing he needs is more heartache, but he can't seem to let her go again. Should they walk away for good, or does their love deserve a repeat performance?

QUICK IMPRESSION
I liked Clem. Unburdened from her memories, she doesn't understand how she could have ever believed her ex, Ed, cheated on her. As we begin to learn who Clem is now and who she was before, it's clear that having a clean slate has changed her. Will she finally understand how she could have let someone as great as Ed slip away?
QUICK NOTES
(view spoiler)
QUOTES TO KEEP
• “Oh, honey. If daydreams had frequent flier miles you’d be halfway around the world by now from all of your ruminating over a certain someone.”
• "These are stories about women standing up for themselves and what they believe in. Women working to be whole and demanding what they deserve."
• "Romance isn’t all kissing and bedroom action, you know. Though there’s often some of that too."
KEY CHARACTERS
• Clementine Johns: Ex-girlfriend of Ed, "amnesia chick" (her Instagram handle). She's trying to piece her past together, owns a house with Ed, and moves back in because Ed is worried someone is after her. She still has feelings for him, even with no memories of their time together.
• Ed Larsen: Ex-boyfriend of Clem and tattoo artist. He's grumpy but obviously still has feelings for Clem. He gave me a bit of whiplash at first with his hot-and-cold attitude, but he was hurting, so I forgive him!
• Iris: Clem's boss and owner of the bookstore Clem used to frequent. She offers Clem a job when she finds out what happened. I loved her forthright attitude and matchmaking vibes!
(There are more, but these three were my favorites! 😁)
FINAL THOUGHTS
• The Good: I enjoyed watching Clem learn about her past, but more importantly, she doesn't use that information to revert back to the 'old version' of herself. She can see her own faults in how the relationship ended and can't comprehend how she reached those conclusions back then. I loved the mystery of unraveling what really happened, and the tension builds wonderfully as it heads toward the climax.
• The Bad: Nothing major comes to mind—this is a great second-chance romance! I wasn't the biggest fan of her sister at first since she deliberately withheld information, only to do a quick 180 and let Clem move in with Ed. But I suppose she was just trying to protect her.
• Verdict: I thoroughly enjoyed getting lost in Clem and Ed's romance. I’ve had this book sitting on my reading list for a while (putting it down when my husband became seriously ill), so I was so glad to see it pop up on Instagram yesterday and finally finish it. Kylie Scott has written so many of my favorites, from rockstar romances to rom-coms, and I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a second-chance romance with a touch of suspense.
