I don’t know who I am. I don’t know who to trust. But someone out there knows what really happened to me.

The faces staring back at me feel wrong, their voices uncomfortably distant. Ever since I woke from the coma, it’s like I’ve been locked in a stranger’s life. My memories are fractured – frozen at thirty, yet they insist I’m forty. A wife. A mother. But these strangers? They say they’re my family.

Daniel, my husband, swears he loves me, yet I can’t recall saying ‘I do.’ My children’s faces stir nothing but guilt. Even the wedding album feels staged. But I remember Brad, my first husband – and my last clear and carefree memory is of him.

Then there’s the train station. The tracks. That Monday morning.

I have too many questions, and nobody is giving me answers. The more I dig, the more the fear grows. Everyone in my life seems to be hiding something. Secrets. Lies. Grudges. One of them knows more than they’re letting on.

Nothing feels real, not even my own reflection. I just need to remember what happened that Monday.

It’s the only way I can piece my life back together.

Forget everything you think you know about amnesia thrillers. This one grabs you by the throat in the first confused, disoriented moments and never lets go.

Waking up in the hospital is supposed to be the start of recovery. But for our lead, it’s the first click of a deadly trap. With a memory shattered into useless fragments after a catastrophic accident at the train station, she’s already vulnerable. Then the real chaos erupts.

The atmosphere is oppressively perfect! You can smell the antiseptic, feel the cold panic, and taste the metallic fear. Just as you think you’ve grasped the puzzle, the storyline wrenches sideways in the most unpredictable and heartbreaking ways. The characters are masterfully crafted, the kind of deliciously twisted, morally ambiguous players you love to hate.

And that ending? Mind. Blown. It recontextualizes everything in a single, breathtaking stroke.

Audiobook Note: The narrator’s performance is a tour de force. It’s not just reading; it’s a possession. I genuinely couldn't press pause! This is a one-sitting, heart-in-your-throat experience.

Verdict: This book turned me into an instant, lifelong fan of Maria Frankland! A gritty, emotional, and brilliantly executed thriller that deserves every one of its five stars. Auto-read status: EARNED.

I Don't Like Mondays' exciting prologue hits you with a bang. When Cathy awakens in a hospital bed, even her own reflection doesn't seem real. She will have to piece her life back together and figure out what happened on that Monday morning. She can't help but to be fearful and as lies and grudges come to light, Cathy doesn't know who she can trust.

This is my third book by Maria Frankland, and I really enjoy her writing. With short chapters and gripping storytelling, she excels in bringing dysfunctional families to life and it's a very enjoyable ride!

Enjoyable!
