Review: Blank Slate Kate

It's Heather Wardell Week on Booksessed. You've probably seen the excerpt of Blank Slate Kate (her new book) as well as a guest post by Heather. Today I'm posting my review of Blank Slate Kate. If you've missed anything, please check out the links!!



Blank Slate Kate by Heather Wardell
Self published; November 2011
232 pages
Genres: Women’s fiction
I got this book in exchange for an honest review from the author.

Synopsis via Goodreads:
Waking up with a strange man is scary. Realizing you lost fifteen years of your life overnight? That's terrifying. With her memories from seventeen to thirty-two gone, Kate has no idea who she is and where she belongs. As she begins to fall for the man who found her, she wonders if she forgot those years for a reason. Should she keep trying to retrieve her original self, or start a new life?

Heather Wardell may be the master of book dealing with serious issues. I was hooked by first couple pages. It is so intense. I cannot imagine going through this. The scenes with Kate learning about technology and the internet very early on were quite humorous. But there were some very sad scenes as she caught herself up on the world tragedies that had happened during the time she had forgotten. Those were very hard scenes for me to get through.

I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but I wish that I could gush about all my favorite parts of this novel. I can say that I hate Claire. HATE her.

I normally dislike love triangles, but I’m not sure this one counts. I wasn’t even sure who I wanted to root for. I could kind of see reasons to choose either of the men. Some of the scenes with both men were so heartbreaking.

I loved the journey that Kate took. There were twists and turns and some moments that you just couldn’t believe because they were so unexpected. This book equals amazing. I could not put it down.

Will someone please read this book so that we can chat about it? Please?

  1. Wow this actually does sound really good... I wonder if I could find it at the library. It almost sounds like Overboard, that Goldie Hawn movie, lol. But you know, different and better.

    1. I really like Heather Wardell it's YA that makes you think and doesn't condescend.
