Forgive & Forget

The Space Between, Filled With Memory

By: Swantje Oppermann, Catherine Venner - translator

Narrated by: Chase Brown, Georgia Maguire

Marlie's life in Santa Barbara is the epitome of perfection: the ocean sparkles under the California sun, her studies are going brilliantly, and in Tristan, she has found her soulmate. But this idyllic existence begins to crack when a stranger appears at her door one evening, claiming to be Tristan's twin brother, Callan—someone whose existence Tristan never mentioned. Shortly after this revelation, Tristan vanishes without a trace.

Desperate for answers, Marlie reluctantly accepts Callan's help, and together they journey across Southern California searching not only for Tristan but for the truth. With each passing day, an unwanted attraction grows between them, along with Marlie's tormenting doubts. As she delves deeper into the brothers' past, her own memories and certainties begin to blur. The twins share more than just their appearance—a secret that defies the boundaries of possibility and threatens to plunge Marlie into an abyss between love and betrayal.

A captivating romantic urban fantasy about hidden truths, deceptive certainties, and the ultimate question: Who can you trust when even your own memories might be lying?

Kept Me Guessing

Not a bad way to spend the day. The characters kept surprising me and were interesting.

narration doesn't work

Hard to believe the main character is German when the narrator has a British accent.

decent

good book, could have been more. more complex, more suspenseful, and our girl could have been a full blown bad-ass, instead of just flirting with the idea...Male narrator has wonderful sounding voice, which saves him from his performance at times. I assume he'll improve his flow with time.

Forgive and forget. Really good story.

Really like this story, we'll keep your focus quite the page Turner. Unexpected twist, and turns.

Empathy, kindness, and responsibilities

This book had a lot of different twist and terms.
I enjoyed it and would possibly listen to the sequel Anytime we involve ourselves in other peoples lives we can upset the balance innocently, but those are the lessons we need to learn.
