Synopsis

When Evie Hudson wakes in an unfamiliar hospital room, she thinks she’s fresh out of a teenage party with her best friend, Bree. Except, Bree isn’t around anymore and high school was years ago. Evie has just survived the crash that killed her husband, Oliver—whom she can’t remember either. After suffering a traumatic loss of memory, she’s left to connect the dots. But how?

Enter: Drew, a promising photographer whose chance encounter with Evie unravels the elusive details of her marriage and her husband’s death. As Drew watches Evie stitch the story of her life together, secrets emerge that might shatter both of their worlds.

This tangled second-chance romance leads Evie to question every decision she ever made. This time around, she’s seeing all the things she missed—and the life she gets to choose...again.

Pictures of You

Prologue

My hand fishes surreptitiously through my bag for my phone while a string quartet plays Albinoni’s “Adagio” and reduces everyone around me to tears. My throat is aching from the stress. I try to wring moisture out of dry eyes, judgment burning from all corners of the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church in Waverley, and I fight the urge to escape.

I simply cannot be here.

Shouldn’t be here.

I don’t know these people. Not my mother-in-law, Gwendolyn, dabbing her eyes beside me in that careful way that prioritizes the integrity of your mascara over letting go of any real emotion. Not her husband, who hasn’t said a kind word to me since I woke up in the hospital a week ago. Not the Gucci suits fidgeting in the pews behind us, glancing at watches and mourning the passing of billable six-minute increments.

And not Oliver Roche. Gloriously good-looking, wildly successful commercial lawyer. Property investor. Philanthropist and taker of extravagant skiing holidays and European shopping trips, according to the “celebration of life” slideshow in which I am currently costarring on the big screen.

Love of my life, apparently.

Romantic evidence is blaring in polished, cinematic glory. There I am, growing up at warp speed beside him in the PowerPoint. He’s at his shiny best, all through school and university, on sports fields, at work, socially. I can’t help wondering what it would be like if the accident had claimed my life too, and these same people had to scramble together some sort of highlight reel about me.

A large teardrop diamond flashes on my left ring finger. Gwendolyn, urging me to wear it, frowning as though she couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t want to, said it wasn’t safe to leave the rings lying around at home. I try to feel grateful for it. For all of this. This luxurious life that Oliver and his family brought me into, even though I can’t imagine the steps I must have taken to get tangled up in it.

Why I love it

Emma Grey knocked it out of the park with her previous book, The Last Love Note. I professed my love for her incredible writing to anyone who would listen all year, so when I heard her next book was on its way, I immediately jumped at the chance to get my hands on it. And wow, does Pictures of You deliver. At the heart of this story is a beautiful, complex romance, but as I came to love in Emma Grey’s first book, there’s an incredible depth to the journey our characters will go on.

Evie Hudson has just woken up in the hospital when she’s told the worst news imaginable: she was in a car crash that killed her husband. Only there’s a problem… Evie doesn’t have a husband. It turns out that her husband was not the only victim of the crash; all of Evie’s memories post-high school are gone, too. Now nearly 30, she’s terrified to discover how much she has to catch up on. After fleeing the hospital in what she thinks is an Uber, she meets a man with whom she and her husband had a tumultuous past. As the two of them grapple with her trauma and attempt to piece her memories back together, they develop a deep—and extremely complicated—bond that can’t be ignored.

Pictures of You is a gripping adventure that will take you through the full spectrum of human emotion. It’s a second-chance romance with so much more, and it will leave you reflecting on what choices got you where you are today. Pick up this book and follow Evie as she decides whether remembering her past is worth risking her future.
