Something bad has happened to Alison Taylor.
Her Saturday night started normally. Recently separated from her husband, Ali has been persuaded by her friends to go on a date with a new man. She is ready, she is nervous, she is excited. She is about to take a step into her new future.
By Sunday morning, Ali’s life is unrecognisable. She wakes, and she knows that something is wrong. She is home, she is alone, she is hurt and she has no memory of what happened to her.
Worse still, when she looks in the mirror, Ali doesn’t recognise the face staring back at her. She can’t recognise her friends and family. And she can’t recognise the person who is trying to destroy her…
The Review
THE DATE by Louise Jensen.
I recently read THE DATE for a blog post I did about Prosopagnosia
I thought this one was super anxiety-inducing and emotional. The beginning was where it shined. It was uncomplicated and had a direct focus which felt like a stylistic choice and a unique approach until the second half of the novel came and disparaged that.
I ended up feeling middle of the road about this one. I felt it was good for beginners to the thriller genre but experienced readers will find the complicated follow through unnecessary.
It did a great job of explaining Prosopagnosia and I was grateful for that.
Overall, I thought it was ok.
THE DATE…
