Ridley House by Willa Jemhart

Synopsis:
For as long as she can remember, nineteen-year-old Kay has been unable to stay in one place for long. With no recollection of who she is or where she came from, plagued by nightmares she doesn’t remember upon waking, and the torturous feeling that her one true love was lost to her, she is unsure whether she is searching for or fleeing from something. 

When she accepts a summer job at the Ridley House Inn, it feels like a nice change of pace. The country setting and old-fashioned feel are comfortable, homey, and even familiar. 

Shortly after her arrival, she finds a wall filled with Ridley family portraits, where one picture in particular grabs her attention - a late 1930s photograph of a young woman with a face identical to her own. 

Between the warnings of a scary old man telling her she should not have returned, and the magnetic pull towards a familiar and handsome young man, Kay is determined to find some answers. Is Ridley House the place she has been searching for, is it the place she has been running from, or is all of the familiarity simply contrived by her desperation to finally belong somewhere?

My Rating
-1.5/5-
A free copy was received in exchange for an honest review.
Sadly to say I hardly liked this book at all. I just found it really boring. It took me basically forever to get through the first half. It keep putting me to sleep.
There were just a lot of long sentences also. The ton was boring and it felt like a lot of the story lacked emotion. 
Though it wasn't all bad! I liked the idea just not how it was done.
Also once you get though about the first half of the story it starts to pick up and become more interesting which was good, you just have to make it through the first half. 
On goodreads this book has some good ratings from what I can tell but I just did not like it. Some books are that way I guess all well.
