The Sudden Appearance of Hope

The World Fantasy Award-winning thriller about a girl no one can remember, from the acclaimed author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and 84K.

My name is Hope Arden, and you won't know who I am. But we've met before - a thousand times.
It started when I was sixteen years old. A father forgetting to drive me to school. A mother setting the table for three, not four. A friend who looks at me and sees a stranger.
No matter what I do, the words I say, the crimes I commit, you will never remember who I am.
That makes my life difficult. It also makes me dangerous.
The Sudden Appearance of Hope is a riveting and heartbreaking exploration of identity and existence, about a forgotten girl whose story will stay with you forever.

Quite good, but it just sorta ended. Which bummed me out. I love her writing style though. Will read everything she puts out.

This book was awful. No true purpose. Author was all over the place. Wouldn’t recommend it, you’re better off reading a thesaurus or dictionary, both of which I find more interesting.
