I'm so on the fence with this story. It has some really great five star aspects to it, and then some moments I dislike so much that I wanted to scream. And I'm not really sure why.I loved the story, I thought it was really original and creative. I loved the idea of Evelyn forgetting a huge chunk of her life and Tristan reminding her of all those special moments... I just didn't buy into her jumping back into things with him within 24 hours. Maybe that's just me, I just found that it took away from the build of the story. I found her battle with cancer completely heartbreaking. Having lost my dad to cancer, I could really relate to the pain and fear and desperation of the patient as well as all of the people around her who lived that battle right along with her.Sometimes the dialogue really bugged me. I absolutely despised the repeated use of "my infinity." Once or twice, I got it, it was cute. But it got seriously overused and really got under my skin.I also liked the drama that the woman at the end caused by showing up. I just didn't like the timing. Had she shown up before the baby was in the picture, I would have definitely liked the waves that she caused, the angst that might have created. But showing up after Evelyn had come out of the coma, with a baby being in the picture, she didn't have that effect on me as a reader because I knew Tristan wouldn't have done anything. And Evelyn's overly dramatic reaction to something we all knew hadn't actually happened, just got on my nerves.All in all, an entertaining quick read.
