Forget My Name by @JSThrillers

By Pamelascott
...when you don't even know who you are? You are outside your front door. There are strangers in your house. Then you realise. You can't remember your name.

She arrived at the train station after a difficult week at work. Her bag had been stolen, and with it, her identity. Her whole life was in there - passport, wallet, house key. When she tried to report the theft, she couldn't remember her own name. All she knew was her own address.

Now she's outside Tony and Laura's front door. She says she lives in their home. They say they have never met her before.

One of them is lying.

I really enjoyed the author's debut thriller, Find Me so I had high expectations for this book. I loved the premise behind the book - a woman with apparent amnesia, turning up at the house where she believes she lives to find two strangers there who claim never to have met her. Who can resist such intrigue? The mysterious woman is given the name Jemma by the two people who live in the house she claims is her's. Why? Jemma is the main narrator of the book and she's the perfect person to tell this disjointed, intriguing and confusing story. I really got to know her and how confusing and at times frightened her amnesia made her. This book is packed with twists and turns, misdirection and Jemma is the perfect unreliable narrator. What the hell is going on? Who is Jemma? Who can she trust? This is a fantastic thriller.
