I've never read anything by Harlen Coben before, and I see what all the fuss was about. Wow. What a treat!
I love stories with unreliable narrators, and professor Jake Fisher is about as sketchy as they come. When paired with a plot with a satisfying number of good twists and some genuine surprises, Six Years is one of my favorite reads of the year.
The story follows Jake as he tries to unravel the mystery of his lost love Natalie, a woman he last saw at her wedding six years ago. When he learns Natalie's husband has died, Jake feels pulled to seek her out and at least pay his respects. But when he arrives at the funeral, another grieving woman is there professing to be the widow -- and no one has heard of Natalie.
Jake becomes obsessed with finding Natalie, and learning the truth about their relationship and why she left him. However, he's stymied at every turn. Is his memory playing tricks on him? Is he mentally ill? Was there ever a relationship with Natalie to begin with?
And then there are the sinister men who've started to follow him at every turn.
This is a fantastic read, and one I can't wait to tell people about. If you need a good beach book this summer, Six Years is it.
