Synopsis

She’s woken up in a life she doesn’t recognise – with a daughter she doesn’t remember.When Charlotte McKay wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there, all she wants is to go back to the perfect London flat she shares with her husband, and the impressive career she’s worked so hard to build. But something’s not right. Her husband David is at her bedside – but so is a three-year-old girl, and she’s calling Charlotte ‘Mummy’…Charlotte’s first instinct is panic. When – why – did she have a child? What about her promotion, her independence, her romantic weekends with David? She loved being that woman: how can she have turned into the stay-at-home mother she swore she’d never be?Back at home, she dives into her unfamiliar world, hoping to piece together the mystery of her transformation. But faced with so much that feels foreign and unnatural, will she ever be happy in a life she can’t remember having – or wanting to have?

Boring and Repetitive SPOILER—The first 3rd of this book was intriguing. Unfortunately, after that it was just a long, drawn out shallow plot where the main character keeps agonizing over a corrected birth defect for years. The story took too long to get to the end and it was a very lack luster fini......more
