Totally engrossing!

Dr. Charly McKenna, a skilled dermatologist, is beloved by most of her patients. She lives alone with her cat until a new patient, a lawyer, asks her out. Charly has a strict rule against dating patients, but when he asks again months later, she agrees. A few months after that, they’re married. Then her world shatters: she wakes up in a rehab hospital after being shot. Facing a grueling recovery, she must relearn to eat, talk, and move her body—made harder by the sensation that one side of her body is no longer there.

Charly knows her situation is dire. She can’t recall who shot her or why. A recurring dream haunts her, with someone whispering in her ear after the shooting, but the face remains elusive.

Is the person who attacked her still out there? Is she still in danger?

I loved this audiobook. Freida McFadden masterfully portrays Charly’s struggle as a patient to reclaim her body and mind. Her ordeal was well portrayed. Though a suspense novel, it weaves in a touch of romance.

Cliffhanger: No
