I was so disappointed with this book.  But as much as I don't want to finish it, I went through the agony anyway.  My fault.There is really no love story in this book.  The main characters thought there were in love with each other after sleeping together several times.  Their love was mainly built in the foundation of their sexual attraction with each other.  You will not see any serious basis for them to love each other.  You would even think that the danger they were in just added spice to their dysfunctional claim of love.From the early page up to the last few pages of the book, you will get an overload of high end brands and shopping.  I can't help but wonder if this book got a lot of sponsorship to make all those brands worth the mention.  They took up most of the pages.  And they were all irrelevant to the story.The ending did not just happen abruptly but it is so unbelievable.  It made me think of a different ending just to give mesatisfaction.  You don't get amnesia from trauma and just sleep (literally) with a woman and woke up remembering everything.  I would have liked it better if Melanie got into danger again and because of too much fear of losing her all over again, the memory all came back making Mark realized that he cannot live if something happens to Melanie.  But then that was my version of an ending.I will not recommend you to read but I will not ask you not to as well.  Be your own judge.  If you are the shopaholic type then probably this book will interest you.
