    About this ebook

    'If you had your time over, would you fall in love with the same person? Would you live the same life twice?' After a car accident, Gracie loses all the memories that define her and is forced to examine the person she has become. Addictive and heartfelt reading from a new Australian voice.

    Dear Gracie,
    Here are some things you should know:
    The yellow toothbrush is mine.
    You sleep with your socks on.
    You set your alarm for 5:45 am every morning and then you go for a run.
    You and I were the closest thing to perfect I ever knew in my life.
    Love, Blake

    After an accident leaves Gracie with severe amnesia, she's forced to decide: live a life that is made up of other people's memories of who she was, or start a new life on her own. Leaving her fiancé Blake behind, she moves to the country where she takes on the task of reviving her late mother's abandoned flower farm.

    While attempting to restart a business with an uncertain future, she tries to decide whether to let Blake back into her life now that he's a stranger. What she doesn't count on is developing a deep connection with Flynn, a local vet who is her neighbour.

    Forced to examine the person she has become, Gracie confronts the question: if you had your time over, would you live the same life twice?

      I loved this book!! The cover is beautiful, which caught my eye but the story and characters just drew me in. I knew I was going to love the book after the first chapter. I loved the writing style. I felt I was right there there with Gracie. All the talk about flowers and the descriptions were amazing. I made me wish for bouquets of peonies, tulips and sweet peas.Gracie wakes up in the hospital after a car accident and has no memory. She doesn't recognize anyone, and doesn't even know her own name or anything about herself. Even scarier, Gracie has a fiancé who is now a total stranger to her and they are to be wed in a few months. Gracie doesn't want to see anyone or hear anything about her past and only talks to her best friend Scarlett. Gracie ends up moving to her mom's old flower farm. Flowers are the only things bringing her happiness and she wants to find out who she truly is instead of the person she once was. At the farm, Gracie welcomes help from Tilly and Charlie. She also meets Flynn. Gracie feels conflicted because she doesn't want to cheat on Blake even though she has no memory of him.I never saw that coming when everything is finally revealed!!! It made me love the book even more. Definitely a surprise, one that was very well played. This book was a fun read. I definitely recommend it and can't wait to read more by the author!!!Thanks to NetGalley, Avon Books UK and the author, Vanessa Carnevale, for a free electronic ARC of this novel.
