Posted @withregram • @onemoreexclamation In the Dark We Forget is my debut review for Harper Collins and I couldn’t be more excited!
@harpercollins @sgwong8
Some things are better left forgotten . . .
When a woman wakes up with amnesia beside a mountain highway, confused and alone, she fights to regain her identity, only to learn that her parents have disappeared—not long after her mother bought a winning $47 million lottery ticket.
As her memories painfully resurface and the police uncover details of her parents’ mysterious disappearance, Cleo Li finds herself under increasing suspicion. With jolting revelations, In the Dark We Forget, vividly examines the complexities of family—and the lies we tell ourselves in order to survive.
Review:
Written in first person, the person who has no memory, Wong places us directly in the story. Can you imagine waking up on a roadside with no purse, no cell phone, and no idea who you are?
Tension builds gradually, including - especially - concerning her family. Thrust into the middle of the story, with twists and turns at every bend, this is a hard-to-put-down read.

Posted @withregram • @busyreadingchapters Happy Monday book friends. What a hot day today. Not a fan at all. Bring Fall weather over this heat anytime.

I'm currently reading “In The Dark, We Forget by Canadian author @sgwong8 and so far it's enjoyable. I love a book with Canadian cities and towns I'm familiar with and of course, my hometown.

Imagine waking up on a side road and having amnesia and having no idea how you got there or what your name is. That's what happens to Cleo. We continue to follow her as she tries to put together the pieces of her life and how she ended up where she did.

I'm finding the story more of a suspense/mystery than a thriller, but it does have some intense moments that keep the reader's interest.

This is a great debut novel and the author does a fantastic job building on the dynamics of Canadian diversity, family, cultural traditions, and loss.

Recommend! Looking forward to her next book.📚#33

Lovelies, check it out:
When Paris Peralta wakes up to find a straight razor in her hand and her celebrity husband dead in the bathtub, she knows she’ll be charged with his murder. But that’s not what worries her the most. With the unwanted media attention now surrounding her, it's only a matter of time before someone from her long hidden past recognizes her. And the only thing worse than a murder charge are the secrets Paris doesn’t want anyone to know… the secrets that will expose all the things she did in the dark.

Posted @withregram • @dreaminginpages ★ {𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖} ★ — IN THE DARK WE FORGET by Sandra S.G. Wong ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5⁣⁣⁣

IN THE DARK WE FORGET is a fast-paced and immersive thriller that starts off with a bang. Cleo Li wakes up in a ditch after a car accident and experiences amnesia as a result. Grasping to remember who she is, she learns shortly thereafter that her parents are missing. As if that isn’t bad enough, the Li’s are also recent lottery winners and are now worth millions. Is their disappearance connected to their winnings? And where, if at all, does Cleo fit in all this?⁣
⁣
Unreliable narrators will always be my favorite when it comes to mysteries and thrillers, and I loved how unreliable Cleo was. From the very beginning, it’s rather apparent that she’s not going to be a very trustworthy storyteller, and I loved believing her one minute and disbelieving the next. I don’t want to go in to too much detail surrounding her investigation, but suffice it to say that lies and secrets certainly abound. ⁣
⁣
All told, a great debut from a new voice in thrillers. Mysterious and tense storyline that will simultaneously keep you second-guessing and turning the pages. Thanks so much to @tlcbooktours , @harpercollins360 , and @sgwong8 for gifting me a copy of the book as part of a book tour. ⁣
