The Date by Louise Jensen

Book Description

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…

My Review

MOMOBOOKDIARY highly recommends this gripping new release from the awesome Louise Jensen.

I loved this exciting five star read. Louise Jensen always writes with such passion you can tell that the subject has been fully researched to ensure the story is told perfectly and accurately.

I had not heard of the condition that this book focuses on – prosopagnosia – which is commonly known as Face Blindness.

The lead character is unable to recognise anyone after a bump on the head. I couldn’t begin to imagine how frightening it would be to not recognise anyone around me – or even myself.  It was certainly a very intriguing story.

The story is told from two perspectives, between the lead character and someone who wishes her harm.  It is a very tense read which keeps you guessing until the end.

The Date is a heart pumping read!

I loved it have been recommending it to all my friends!

My thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book prior to official release date.
