Narrative To Books The Forgotten Hours
In this evocative debut novel, Katrin Schumann weaves a riveting story of past and present—and how love can lead us astray. At twenty-four, Katie Gregory feels like life is looking up: she’s snagged a great job in New York City and is falling for a captivating artist—and memories of her traumatic past are finally fading. Katie’s life fell apart almost a decade earlier, during an idyllic summer at her family’s cabin on Eagle Lake when her best friend accused her father of sexual assault. Throughout his trial and imprisonment, Katie insisted on his innocence, dodging reporters and clinging to memories of the man she adores. Now he’s getting out. Yet when Katie returns to the shuttered lakeside cabin, details of that fateful night resurface: the chill of the lake, the heat of first love, the terrible sting of jealousy. And as old memories collide with new realities, they call into question everything she thinks she knows about family, friends, and, ultimately, herself. Now, Katie’s choices will be put to the test with life-altering consequences.Point Books Toward The Forgotten Hours

So much waiting, so little pay-off. I truly wanted to love this book. The powerful #MeToo movement our country has seen surface the past few years had me desperately wanting to root for Lulu...but it was so hard. Her character was fake, belligerent, and a tad narcissistic. I know others will disagree, and that's okay. I just had a hard time feeling anything about her at all. As for Katie...yuck. She was aggravating. In this day and age, when EVERYTHING is splashed all over the internet, we'reThis is an impressive debut. It's about knowing and not knowing, and how those differences can define us. It's about betrayal and striving for forgiveness. And it's about family and how the stories we tell about ourselves are informed by incomplete and sometimes incorrect memories.
Id rather reread a good book than slog through a boring one.Amazon Prime First Read books arent what they once were. Most in recent months have been DNF, one or two stars. None of the December options interested me. We were allowed to choose two books for January, but I could only find one.THE FORGOTTEN HOURS seemed like a decent possibility, but I couldnt get into the Katies narration. I was more interested in Lulus story, but she was barely a minor character. I skimmed to the end.
2.5 starsI appreciate the author's attempt to tell a story with complex characters and tough subject matter, but for me this one missed the mark. The bare bones of a good story were there but the transitions from the past and present timelines felt disjointed at times and lacked a cohesive flow. When I finished the book one thought that crossed my mind was it felt more like a good rough draft of a book but needs some work and polishing to turn it into something more meaningful.When Katie Gregory
I can't say enough good things about this novel. The writing is brilliantexcellent description and word choice. The characters are well-drawn and relatable and the plot completely unpredictable. A must-read.
This was a new release that was provided to me from Kindle First. It had an alternating timeline between the past and the present which I liked, but it didn't really flow well between the two. I thought the topic was spot on with the things going on in the world, but the story didn't move along well. It was very slow to start, but got better in the middle. The characters, Charlie, David, jack, seemed flat and didn't seem complete. John, the father, was just creepy in every way - Yuck, even when
