I just started reading this one. The excerpts are from the E-ARC.
First Chapter
It's my birthday, but it isn't my night.
From 56% on my Kindle...
That life recedes from me every day.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Two lives. The one you wanted. The one that wanted you.
Her birthday should be like any other night.
One minute Kelly’s a free-spirited artist in Chicago going to her best friend’s art show. The next, she opens a door and mysteriously emerges in her Michigan hometown. Suddenly her life is unrecognizable: She's got twelve years of the wrong memories in her head and she's married to Eric, a man she barely knew in high school.
Racing to get back to her old life, Kelly's search leads only to more questions. In this life, she loves Eric and wants to trust him, but everything she discovers about him—including a connection to a mysterious tech startup—tells her she shouldn't. And strange things keep happening. The tattoos she had when she was an artist briefly reappear on her skin, she remembers fights with Eric that he says never happened, and her relationships with loved ones both new and familiar seem to change without warning.
But the closer Kelly gets to putting the pieces together, the more her reality seems to shift. And if she can't figure out what happened on her birthday, the next change could cost her everything...
What do you think? What are you sharing today?
I don't know how I've never heard of The Other Me. It sounds like my kind of book. Thanks for mentioning it! :-)
ReplyDeleteOmg this sounds amazing?! I love the idea of mixing a thriller with multiple dimensions/different lives/sliding doors! I'm absolutely adding this one to my TBR! I hope you enjoy this one and have a lovely weekend :)

Sounds creepy. I hope you are enjoying it. This week I am spotlighting a book from deep in my TBR pile - More Than Fiends by Maureen Child. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting read. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteLove both snippets! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI often feel the way the first line expresses. "My birthday, but not my day." Ha! My Friday quotes from the Tattooist of Auschwitz
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely not a book that I would think would appeal to me but I'm definitely curious. I'm adding this one to my TBR.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to add this to my tbr. :)
