Book Review: Love Water Memory

Love Water Memory is a bittersweet story about a woman who suddenly finds herself knee-deep in San Francisco Bay with no recollection of who she is or what she is doing there. Her husband-to-be, Grady, has been looking for her since she disappeared just over a week ago. Before her disappearance, Lucie wasn't terribly forthcoming about her past, so Grady has little information to give her (and isn't great with words anyway).

I enjoyed seeing all three sides of the story -- Lucie's, Grady's, and Lucie's Aunt Helen's. Helen is an important factor in Lucie's past. A couple of books came to mind as a I read -- Before I Go To Sleep (amnesia connection), Me Before You (the writing, maybe), and Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac (would you like who you were if you didn't know you?).

Overall, a good book, but I would have liked to know a bit more about both Lucie and Grady. Maybe more about their relationship before Lucie's amnesia, and I would have liked a little more at the end of the book about what happens next with the characters. - Melissa (Downtown)
