"There's something very wrong with me. I can't remember who I am or how old I am, or even how I got here. All I know is that when I wake up, I could be any age or anyone, all over again. It is always this way." ~ Mercy by Rebecca Lim
So I will admit, I wasn't sure about this book when I won it over at Confessions of a Book Addict. But when the booked arrived today and I cracked it open to find these opening lines, I got sucked in. And now for another confession...I couldn't help thinking of 50 First Dates when I first read these lines.

ReplyDeleteNot only did I think of 50 First Dates, but a book I read recently, SJ Watson's Before I Go To Sleep, which was really good!
ReplyDeleteI can totally see why. Look forward to your review
ReplyDeleteThat's a great opening! I wonder how similar to 50 First Dates the rest of it'll be... I'm guessing not very, going by the cover!
ReplyDeleteHa! 50 First Dates...that's totally what I thought of too.
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing first lines. I would have gotten hooked too.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds so familiar to me but I do not think I've read it. Hmmm.... I wonder what it reminds me of!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing :)

ReplyDeleteawww!! this sounds really interesting, i'm glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteThat does sound enthralling! I know exactly what you mean! I picked up the new Debbie Macomber book yesterday morning and didn't put it down until I was done. (I really should have gotten some housework done :)!! )
ReplyDeletePOwerful lines. I'd be sucked in too.
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about this book, I'm hoping to make time for it sometime soon:) Love those opening lines, they would suck me in too!

ReplyDeleteIf I remember right, this is a part of a trilogy, correct? (Hi, Juju!)
