I love amnesia stories,  there's just something about the idea of how much does knowledge of your past make you who you are today,  and if you don't have any knowledge of your past,  then who are you that fascinates me... It's an issue that Connor has to face,  after waking up from a car accident.  His relationship with his wife,  his work,  his life,  everything is in question.  Connor meets Nate at the amnesiac support group and things happen very quickly - "The only major event in my five day long 'new life' that cast any kind of light on who I as. And who I was, was an adulterer, apparently,  a gay adulterer."  I often find that the British m/m books are grittier - dealing more with poverty and unemployment and a sense of anxiety of their place in the world.  This book deals with these issues, but not in a heavy handed or grim way.  It's just not smooth or fairytale like here.I found some of the twists at the end were a little more convoluted than they had to be, so it's not a 5 star book,  but it's a very good 4 star one.
