There’s a lot going on in this book and while I was reading it, I found that the rambling on and on about Katie and what happened the night that Whitley can’t remember got a little old. There’s a lot of pages and not a whole lot is happening other than Whitley working at the tea shop and hanging out with Kyle in an effort to try to remember something from that night. Kyle’s no help and there’s a new guy on the scene that is interested in Whitley but she’s got things to do and memories to remember.

I will say that this book wasn’t a bad book but I spent a good chunk of this book wanting something to happen. I wanted to connect with Whitley more but I don’t know, I just didn’t. The book came together in a way that made sense but I can’t say that I jumped for joy when all was said and done. It was good but thats it. It was just good.

Come Back To Me wasn't at all what I had expected. Sadly, it was confusing and anticlimactic... But it wasn't all bad. There were aspects that could have made the difference between an average novel and an incredible storyline that readers could invest in. Whitney's rehabilitation was barely touched upon, as the story picks up on her final day. The characters within her support group were eclectic, but were only touched upon and had the potential to offer the reader an insight into life at Gosley.

Kyle was... Well... Kyle was a tool. He's a user and Whitney's rekindled friendship is meaningless. He stares into the distance under his drug induced, alcoholic cloud and she sits with him hoping he'll suddenly remember what she can't. For someone who is struggling with addiction herself, how does she not relapse in his company?

Evan is a decent guy, musical, works with children, straight laced and seems as though he genuinely likes Whitney without asking for anything in return. But We barely see their relationship develop, as she is only intent on uncovering her memories and only believes that Kyle can help her. It's frustrating, as the reader will genuinely believe that what Whitney discovers will be an incredible revelation, perhaps an integral plot twist, but no, it isn't. I felt let down by the storyline, as it could have been so much more.
