The End of Getting Lost
The End of Getting Lost: A Novel | Robin Kirman
7 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
A psychologically suspenseful, cunning love story following a young dancer unable to recall the last year of her life after suffering a head injury on her honeymoon, revealing an intimate portrait of love’s powers—as well as its dangers. The year is 1996—a time before cell phones, status updates, and location tags—when you could still travel to a remote corner of the world and disappear, if you chose to do so. This is where we meet Gina Reinhold and Duncan Lowy, a young artistic couple madly in love, traveling around Europe on a romantic adventure. It’s a time both thrilling and dizzying for Gina, whose memories are hazy following a head injury—and the growing sense that the man at her side, her one companion on this strange continent, is keeping secrets from her. Just what is Duncan hiding and how far will he go to keep their pasts at bay? As the pair hop borders across Europe, their former lives threatening to catch up with them while the truth grows more elusive, we witness how love can lead us astray, and what it means to lose oneself in love... The End of Getting Lost is “atmospheric, lyrical, and filled with layered insights into the complexities of marriage” (Susie Yang, New York Times bestselling author of White Ivy). “Kirman is wonderfully deft with suspense and plot” (Katie Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Girls in Trucks) in this “electric page-turner” (Courtney Maum, author of Costalegre and Touch), a novel that is both a tightrope act of deception as much as it is an elegant exploration of love and marriage, and our cherished illusions of both. With notes of Patricia Highsmith, Caroline Kepnes, and Lauren Groff, Robin Kirman has spun a delicious tale of deceit, redemption, and the fight to keep love alive—no matter the costs.

What a quiet and compelling novel.. there's a lot of relationship layers, amnesia, and European travel.

This was an entertaining look at a marriage where secrets, lies, and deception are the tapestry woven into Duncan and Gina‘s lives. Seriously, my head was spinning as I tried to figure out who was the bigger liar! Jump in and don‘t try to figure it out…just let that fabric unravel before your eyes!

Gina and Duncan… a young couple so much in love. As they make their way through Europe on an extended honeymoon, Gina takes a bad fall and while she recovers she loses her short term memory. There to save the day is doting Duncan. On the surface the relationship appears perfect, in the shadows, there seems to be 2 crazy people independently vying for title of craziest person in this relationship. An odd story of obsession.

I can‘t resist an amnesia story! Composer Duncan & dancer Gina seem like the perfect couple- now on a belated honeymoon, the book opens after Gina suffers a fall. She doesn‘t remember the last year or so… but surely all is at seems as they continue on through Europe. Both husband and wife‘s perspectives are included- but they aren‘t always sympathetic… plus I hoped for more of a 1990s feel from the time period! But a quick and well-plotted read!

Solid 4

More of a Psychological Manipulation than a Psychological Thriller to me. What's a few little lies between husband and wife? I have to say that the MCs were immature to me. I gave it a 4 because Kirman played me. I was a little surprised at the ending.

Thanks Netgalley, Simon & Schuster for the Kindle Version of the book.

This is very short book, and I don‘t want to give away this plot, so you can enjoy this. What this author provides a multi-layered story of two people that is like an onion. As Kirman, unpeels each layer with new details, you will get to know these two people intimately, culminating into an ending that will leave you very surprised and ultimately satisfied.
