Thank You for Remembering - by Emily Harding (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"Emily Harding's writing is fresh, romantic, full of wit! You can't go wrong with one of her books!" --Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author

For fans of Hello Stranger and Pictures of You, a modern amnesia romance about fresh starts, unexpected love, and what happens when forgetting your past sends you stumbling straight into your future.

Growing up, Marnie Stephens believed that destiny was real and the universe had a plan. But at thirty, real life has become more difficult than divine. Especially when Marnie wakes up at a hospital in Boston with no memory of how she got there...or the last year of her life.

Her doctor tells her she suffered a head injury, her boyfriend, Matt, insists they broke up months ago, and her hair is somehow eight inches shorter. Before she knows it, she finds herself in an apartment she doesn't remember with a new neighbor, Ben Morgan, she's sure she won't forget.

As Marnie sets out to retrace the last year of her life, the last thing she needs is to start falling for Ben, the grumpy--and incredibly attractive--neighbor helping her. But the universe has other plans, and it's not long before Marnie begins to wonder if fighting for the past is as important as the one person who could be her future.

"Emily Harding has a forever fan in me! Harding's prose absolutely sparkles in her delightful yet deeply resonant solo debut. I fell in love with her heroine Beatrice from the very first page.

Watching her relationship with Nathan bloom is the perfect antidote for anyone who ever wondered if they are too loud, too quirky, or just too much. With Bea and Nathan's exceptionally original, oh-so-swoon-worthy love story, readers will be reminded that even when life is complicated, the best type of romance should be simple. I simply loved this book."
