A missing woman is brought back to life by her billionaire husband--with deadly consequences--in a gripping psychological thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Before. Abbie awakens in a daze with no memory of who she is or how she landed in this unsettling condition. The man by her side claims to be her husband. Tim Scott is an icon of the tech world and founder of the lucrative Scott Robotics. He tells Abbie that she is a gifted artist, an avid surfer, a loving mother to their young son and the perfect wife. He says she had a terrible accident five years ago, and that, through a huge technological breakthrough, she has been brought back from the abyss. She is a miracle of science. But as Abbie pieces together memories of her marriage, she begins questioning Tim's motives--and his version of events. Can she trust him when he says he wants them to be together forever? And what really happened to Abbie half a decade ago?

This book is terrific! It is a very well done thriller that kept me guessing. I can honestly say that every time I thought I had figured things out, I was surprised again. When you start the book, you are instantly drawn into the story and guessing about what has happened and who can be trusted. I can't say a lot without revealing too much about the story, and this is one book that shouldn't be ruined for anyone. In addition to the suspenseful plot, the issues about relationships, parenting, technology, and more had me thinking about these topics and I can't wait to discuss this with friends! This would make for an amazing book club selection, as there is a LOT to discuss. The author does a wonderful job of giving clues to what happened without giving too much away. Once you finish the story, the clues given all make sense and you find yourself thinking “Aha!”. For the record, I didn't guess the end of the story, and that made me like this book even more.
Honestly...perfect. I had no idea this was a sci-fi/thriller and I am SO happy it was. This was very well done and well paced.
An enjoyable read. Quite a different thriller than I had read before. I rally enjoyed the science fiction and autism aspects of the story. While I found the ending quite suspensful and satisfying I found the way it was written a little hard to follow. Overall still a 4 star and recommended read. Certainly very thought provoking with its depiction of AI and treatment for autism.
This book is a total spin-out.
I've read J.P. Delaney's first domestic suspense novel so was expecting something similar.
I enjoyed the twists but having the main protagonist as an artificial intelligence robot is just...mind-blowing.
