    About this audiobook

    Claire wakes in a hospital room in the Florida Keys. She has no idea how she got there or why. The loss of so many memories is paralyzing. Some things she can piece together by looking at old photos saved by her husband, Charlie, and her best friend, Rachel, and by combing through boxes of letters and casual jottings. But she senses a mystery at the center of all these fragments of her past, a feeling that something is not complete. Is Charlie still her husband? Is Rachel still her friend?

    Told from alternating points of view that pull the reader into the minds of the three characters, the story unfolds as the smudge that covers Claire's memory is gradually, steadily wiped away, until finally she can understand the why and the how of her life. And then maybe she and Charlie and Rachel can move forward, but with their lives forever changed.

    In Remind Me Again What Happened, debut novelist Joanna Luloff has written a moving and beautifully nuanced story of transience, the ebb and flow of time, and how relationships shift and are reconfigured by each day, hour, and minute.

      Hard to follow. Written book may have been easier.
    • 2/5
      Told from three character's voices as a woman regains her current memory. While not much action, much introspection on the part of all three. The audio was hard to follow. Maybe the book form would be easier.
    • 4/5
      3.5 SECRETS AND BURIED RESENTMENTS are brought to the forefront front when three long standing friends are brought together again after a tragic illness. Claire, out of the country working on a story, is bitten by a mosquito and contracts Japanese encephalitis. The result is brain damage that effects her memory and seizures. Although they had all once been closer than close, each other family, Claire had married Charlie. Charlie, trying to find his wife in the new Claire, has trouble coping and calls on Rachel to come to their Sid.A very insular novel as the whole story is the alternating thoughts of just these three characters. Everything we learn about them are in flashbacks or menories. Things are far from as simple as they appear as they harbor thoughts, secrets not dealt with, from their shared paths. Claire, of course, remembers little of this, and that is a source of frustration, not only for her, but for Rachel and Charlie. The story is very reality based, could definitely see something like this happening, but it is also not terribly exciting. I never felt close to these people, felt like I was observing them from a distance, though I was privy to their most personal thoughts. Never quite got a handle on Charlie, didn't feel as if I knew him.The ending I liked, it fit with everything that came before, and again felt real based on what we learned throughout the novel. So, I did like it, glad I read it, but never fully embraced the characters.ARC from Netgalley.

      Remind Me Again What HappenedJoanna LuloffA interesting character-driven debut novel about complex relationships and the secrets that can transform those relationships forever. ⭐️⭐️⭐️SUMMARYClaire, a journalist on assignment in India is stricken by a mysterious illness. She wakes up in a hospital in Florida with no idea how she got there or why. She has lost a portion of her memories, and is having seizures. Her husband Charlie and her best friend Rachel rally to help her with her recovery and her memories. They take her back to their house in Vermont. Claire attempts to piece together her past by looking at old photos and notes. She senses a feeling that something is not right. She’s not sure where she is supposed to be, but she is pretty sure it’s not where she is. She is not even sure if Charlie is still her husband or if Rachel is still her friend.Before her illness Claire was a bright, fearless, vibrant woman alway on the go. Charlie and Rachel try to help her regain her good memories as much as possible, but they are all keeping secrets from each other. Secrets of hurts and resentments from long ago that have never gone away. Secrets that could have made a difference back in the day when they were all roommates. REVIEWThe novel is told from alternating perspectives that pull you into the minds of the three friends. Using this approach gives breadth to the story and a wealth of information about the characters. But the more you learn about the characters and their past together, you can’t help but develop feeling about them. You may find you do not like them very much: one is restless and self-centered, one is dutiful but passive, and one is selfless, stoic but very angry and sad.REMIND ME AGAIN WHAT HAPPENED is a emotional story with frustrating circumstances and unlikable characters. The story was slow-paced and leaves questions unanswered. My favorite part of the book was when one of the characters in a fit of anger, finally lets loose and gives some clarity about past events that have cause so much dissension among the friends. Readers who like character-driven novels of complex relationships may appreciate this story. Remind Me Again What Happened is the debut novel for JOANNA LULOFF. She has also authored a collection of short stories titled The Beach at Galle Road. She lives in Denver, Colorado where she teaches at the University of Colorado. Thanks to Netgalley, Algonquin Books and Joanna Luloff for an advance reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Publisher Algonquin Books.Publication DateJune 26, 2018
