WOW.......When I saw all the comments and reviews about this being a thriller, I don't think I put together what that meant in my head. Even looking at the tagline for "The Forgotten Girl," I never imagined this book would be so dark, so mesmerizing and so psychologically grueling that at the end, your left helpless, shocked and once again in awe of the power of Jessica Sorensen's writing.I'll warn you, this is a different Jessica spin. This is not a romance. This is a thriller like no other, a story to keep you guessing, your head spinning and your heart beating out of your chest. This is the story of Maddie. This is the story of Lily.Maddie is trying to figure out her life. At the age of 15, she was found on the side of the road after being struck by a car and left to die. She has no memory of who she was before the accident. Now at 21, her mind is getting the better of her. Memories or flashes come every now and then. After 6 years of therapy, she doesn't feel any closer to understanding the feelings she has buried deep inside. Even worse, she has no trust for her therapistHer mother keeps reminding her how perfect she was before the accident. She smothers her and sets extreme parameters in what appears an over the top way of keeping Maddie safe. What makes it worse is that it appears that Maddie's therapist and her mother are working together to keep her past from her.But when Maddie starts having blackouts, the game begins to change. Now Maddie is stuck somewhere between the good Maddie and the bad Maddie that seems to take over her body and mind during these blackouts. When she wakes up, she is surrounded by blood, death and evidence of destruction.Maddie soon realizes her only option is to start remembering her past. Seek answers, even if those answers mean she is a killer.You won't know what's coming next, no matter how good of a guesser you are. You'll be spun in "The Forgotten Girl" web that will take you a few days to truly get over. I seriously want this one made into a move, even if I know it will scare the crap out of me!
