I Remember Everything by Marnie Vinge
4.0
“I Remember Everything” is a psychological thriller that keeps readers guessing until the final pages. The story follows Stephanie Silkwood, who suffers a blow to the head and memory loss while vacationing on a luxury cruise ship in the Amazon with her husband, Steve, and also friends Colin and Leslie. Stephanie remembers seeing evidence that Colin may have embezzled the money from their shared business, but when she mentions this to Steve, he seems suspiciously disinterested.
As the boat ventures deeper and deeper into the jungle, the tensions escalate among the couples. Stephanie tries recovering memories that feel just out of reach, which is crucial to explaining who pushed her overboard and why. The dynamics between the characters continue to deteriorate as they take an overnight jungle excursion that pushes the relationships to their breaking point, with deadly consequences.
The exotic Amazon setting, full of dangers and intrigue, is the perfect backdrop for this tale of lies and betrayal. The story grabs the interest straight away, with Stephanie regaining consciousness after nearly drowning, then hooked by the mystery person who pushed her. The mounting tension between her and Steve over Colin’s potential crime and her struggles to recover the erased memories make it a quick, engaging read.
The narrative raises thought-provoking questions about friendship, marriage, and also trust. The relationships between the two couples are very complex and expertly drawn. When the readers think they have it figured out, a new twist throws everything into the question again. With rich descriptions of the South American landscape, this psychological thriller takes the readers on a ride they will remember. The climax is shocking yet very satisfying, living up to the story’s ominous title. Fans of the genre will surely add “I Remember Everything” to their favorites list. I highly recommend it!
