I should have died.

I should have been forgotten.

But I didn’t, and I wasn’t.

Living the life most women only dream about, I was madly in love with my soulmate—Asher Valentine—amazing husband, loving father, and rock’s favorite kick-ass front man. A man who loved me every day, in every way, since we first met as teens. We were blessed with a beautiful daughter who was the light of our life. My all-female rock band was tearing up the charts.

Then tragedy struck, and I lost it all.

Now all I have is a stack of journals, an antique key, and a big black void where my memories should be.

Used to be.

And I have him—this man with wild hair, tattoos from head to toe, a soft voice, and an even softer touch that gives me butterflies. He’s clearly hopelessly in love with his wife.

I’m told that’s me.

But that wife is gone, and she took everything they once had, leaving me in her place.

A broken replacement. A new version that doesn’t quite fit.

I’m slowly falling in love with him, but will he ever truly love me? Or will he forever be in love with her, the phantom woman who haunts us both?
MY REVIEW
It's finally time for Asher and Ember to tell their story, and let me tell ya, it's not pretty. In fact, it's pretty damn painful, but beautiful in its own way.

If you've been reading this series like I have, you'll already know the bare bones - Ash and Em got married and had a baby at a young age. They both became famous rockstars. They had everything. Then she had an accident and fell into a coma. During those 8 long years, Asher has been by her side willing her to wake up, to come back to him. Then one day, she does just that.

"Ember's awake. My wife, my twin flame, my everything has come back to me."

Sounds like a reason to celebrate but for one tiny thing - Ember's not the same woman from 8 years ago. She doesn't remember her life with Ash, doesn't remember their love, their daughter, their friends/family. So now she's got to figure out how to live her new reality, with a husband in love with someone she doesn't recognize, doesn't remember.

Their journey is long, painful, emotionally fraught. It's everything I had been hoping for, waiting for, expecting. It may have gutted me, but I relished it, and I LOVE it. No one deserved their happiness more than this couple, no one. So glad I finally got to read it!!

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
