My review:
The intriguing prologue had me waiting ages and ages to find out what happened to lead to the circumstances of Ally’s memory loss.
Part 1 is told solely by Adam, a super famous, wealthy travel photographer. He is controlling, obsessive and possessive from the moment he meets Ally, and he was giving me creepy vibes for quite a bit. He was all about how manipulating her family is, but hello pot have ya met kettle? I did like part 2 Adam much more than part 1.
Elena was a fun, sassy lady and I loved her commitment to the animal shelter. Sarah wins the award for worst mother of the century.
Part 2 picks up where the prologue left off and we finally get some chapters from Ally’s POV. Ally comes off very immature and weak. And I know most of it stems from her family life, but I was waiting with bated breath for far too long for her to grow up. I was really frustrated with her at the 54% mark. It took a bit, but I’m happy she finally matured into a strong woman.
Overall, a good read and I really liked the epilogue.

The Image Of You by Melanie Moreland is now live!
From NYT best-selling author Melanie Moreland comes an epic love story of loss and redemption.
I realized in that one moment something was terribly wrong.
āI apologize,ā she spoke, sounding formal.
āYou have me at a disadvantage.ā
Her hand rose in greeting. āIām Alexandra Robbinsā¦and you are?ā
I stared at her hand and then her beautiful face.
The woman I had loved passionatelyādesperatelyāand still loved to this day.
My former fiancĆ©eā¦who was looking at me with no recognition.
As if I were a stranger to her.
And then it hit me as I took in the emptiness in her eyes.
I was.
Iād spent so much time trying to find my way back to her, only to have her not remember me.
One thing was for sureāI would spend my last breath trying to remind her who I was, who we were, and who we would eventually be again.
All I needed was the chance to show her.

Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She’s learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.
