If you like to lose yourself in Jojo Moyes or Nicholas Sparks then you will love When I Lost You, the deeply moving new novel from Kelly Rimmer.

Kelly Rimmer is the USA Today bestselling women’s fiction author of five novels, including Me Without You and The Secret Daughter. She lives in rural Australia with her husband, 2 children and fantastically naughty dogs, Sully and Basil. Her novels have been translated into more than 20 languages.
Having read and reviewed her book, “Me Without You“, I just had to read this one too.

My review ☆☆☆☆

The book goes between two times periods – the past and the present. As Leo slowly begins to regain his memory he recalls how they met and got together. Molly tells us about their relationship and how they have been pulling apart.
In many ways, it’s the story of many relationships – all love and romance at the start  -where they are willing to put aside the fact that they come from very different backgrounds. Then comes the slow falling apart as the couple starts to take each other for granted and their differences start to create a rift.
Two flawed characters, who once were in love with each other, and now with Leo forgetting their falling apart and Molly hiding her secret you wonder what will happen. As a reader you want them to get back together.
Despite the simplicity of the story telling, I was very moved by this book.
I received a copy of the book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
