I just finished reading (listening to) this book and it was a big disappointment to me too. Curiosity and the idle hope that it would get better in the end were the only things that kept me going on. The plotting was so dreadfully weak! So the heroine suffers from memory loss, a very far-fetched way to keep her in the dark about stuff. Then the visit to the doctor's office, just to get more information to advance the plot and to put him in the picture, but the reason for the visit was absurd. Oh, and this is supposed to be a heroine who is very smart and clever. Then there's a baby dropped in the house. Call the police! Worry about the frantic mother! No, the police are busy at the moment, so just keep the baby around, feed it a bit (wow, it's been crying for hours and finally you realize it's HUNGRY), but no mention of washing and changing diapers. Baby disappears. Call the police! Worry about the frantic mother! Noooooo, of course not, good riddance. She does feed the cat, albeit human food, but no mention of litter boxes either.
And don't get me started on the romance.... It's like she's a love-starved person with no self esteem who jumps at the first opportunity when a man says he'll marry her. I'd have smacked him in the face, the high-handed jerk.
I didn't write a review because I've actually got nothing good to say about it. It was utter drivel.
