Summary
Something bad has happened to Alison Taylor.
Her Saturday night started normally. Recently separated from her husband, Ali has been persuaded by her friends to go on a date with a new man. She is ready, she is nervous, and she is excited. She is about to take a step into her new future.
By Sunday morning, Ali’s life is unrecognizable. She wakes, and she knows that something is wrong. She is home, she is alone, she is hurt, and she has no memory of what happened to her.
Worse still, when she looks in the mirror, Ali doesn’t recognize the face staring back at her. She can’t recognize her friends and family. And she can’t recognize the person who is trying to destroy her....
From the number one best-selling author of The Sister, The Gift, and The Surrogate, The Date is a gripping pause resister that will keep you awake until the early hours. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train and Before I Go to Sleep.

Another poorly edited novel...
As with many other novels I've listened to lately, I wish literary agents would correctly edit books before they go to the publisher.
For example:
"Her eyebrows arched, and she raised her eyebrows... "
"I cross and uncross my arms trying to appear casual, two wet patches are formed under my arms..."
Apart from that, the story is decent, although there are a few holes. I guessed the ending.

Disappointing
I really wanted to love this book. But it was long drawn out with unlikeable characters and a predictable plot.

UM-so very preposterous, Sci-Fi is more plausible!
This is an odd book. It is well written and the plot is even good .. if it was sci-fi as one has to suspend so much disbelief to get on board. It is a shame really and I was teetering on returning this book ... and yet I did enjoy a lot of it. The creepy suspense, the twists and turns but all built on a completely ridiculous and unbelievable premise or series of premises. To suddenly not be able to identify people is one giant leap to take - but then incredible circumstance after incredible happenstance is just too much really to take on board without major brain resistance as just soooo hard to get on board for all that happens. Did I enjoy it .... ummmm yes reluctantly, good narration, great brooding tension - but really ... faceblindness plus all the rest ... UNBELIEVABLE and not in a good way. Much like the lovely dog who despite not having a breed came from a breeder - if nothing else this book could at least have had the important message DON'T BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER DOGS DIE. But much like everything else in the book it just seemed to rather miss the point. It had a lot going for it and in bits and pieces it did entertain ... I am grudgingly not going to return this book because I did enjoy it to a point ...but it did beggar belief to the point of incredulity - there are much better books out there - there are much better plots also which this author could employ her considerable talents to tell - let's hope she finds a less contived and bonkers story to tell next time.

Excellent
Brilliantly written. Unravels itself at different points throughout the novel so you’re not quite sure what’s going on and who’s to blame. Really enjoyed it.

Terrible
This is the worst audiobook I have experienced, in fact I stopped it after 5 chapters.
The narration is great... but the content was awful.
The description of every minute detail was distracting and way beyond just giving the ‘reader’ a mental image. It made up 85% of the content I heard. For instance it felt like the most of one chapter was describing a room, then the candle on the shelf, then the detail about the candle, then where she got the candle, then what she was doing when she saw the candle, how she paid for the candle.... you get the idea!!!... all of this can take up most of the chapter and in the end you forgot what room was being described and why!!

too slow and full of unnecessary fillers
sorry, but I skipped 10 chapters and still picked up the storyline with no issues, didn't miss a thing. Didn't enjoy far too far fetched and unrealistic, after the entire book being slow, the ending was rushed.

Top class heart-pounding thriller
How would you feel if you were assaulted but found you couldn't recognise the perpetrator's face, even if he was sitting opposite you?
Louise Jensen takes us on a heart-pounding journey through one woman's face-blindness, playing with our emotions, prompting questions, inviting realisations and then provoking still more questions, keeping us guessing until the very end of the book.
I can't remember the last time I found myself shouting at an audiobook - "no, don't do it!" - but that is how involved Jensen gets us, and it's a real talent.
