It's a book about Jo Simmons (not her real name). She wakes up amist debris, close to a bombed nightclub with no recollection of her past. She has amnesia and doesn't know her own name. She flees from the scene and ends up in a rural village where she tries to start from scratch. She makes up a whole background, adopting the 'Jo Simmons' name and tries actively to solve the mystery of her past. She discovers some pretty bad stuff about who she really was and has to choose between adopting her new persona or going back to who she was. Of course, she meets an awesome love interest in the mean time :D
Okay, I'll keep it brief.
Pros:
1. It was based in England. I love England.
2. It was thrilling and gripping and totally captivating. I stayed up all night to finish it!
3. Made several references to popular culture. Facebook was a very important plot device!
4. Frienship and family were important parts of the story.
5. The romance was not what defined the main female character. She was so well developed. I could totally relate to her - well to an extent - and my initial negative opinion of her totally changed by the end of the story
6. It was not a chick-lit per se. It was really different (in a good way) from what I had read before.
7. Football!!!! :D (or soccer as Americans would call it.)
8. Amazing love interest for Jo. He was so lovable! :D
9. Many more but that's all I can think of right now.
Cons:
1. A little unbelievable. (Jo's able to find jobs with no/made up qualifications! I wish it was that easy in real life haha)
2. The love interest should have been developed more. He was a great character.
3. The ending was a little too abrupt. I wanted to read more of her life in that new City.
Anyway, despite the cons this book deserves a 4.5. I LOVED IT!! :D
