Synopsis

What if everything you’ve ever loved, ever known, ever believed to be true…just disappeared?Annie Beyers has everything—a beautiful house, a loving husband, and an adorable daughter. It’s a day like any other when she takes Hannah to the pediatrician…until she wakes hours later from a car accident. When she asks for her daughter, confused doctors tell Annie that Hannah never existed. In fact, nothing after waking from the crash is the same as Annie remembers. Five happy years of her life apparently never happened.Annie’s marriage is coming to an end. Now a successful artist living in Manhattan, she’s no longer home in their beloved upstate farmhouse. Her long-estranged sister is more like a best friend, and her recently deceased dog is alive and well. With each passing day, Annie’s remembered past and unfamiliar present begin to blur. Haunted by visions of Hannah, and with knowledge of things she can’t explain, Annie wonders…is everyone lying to her?The search for answers leads Annie down an illuminating path far from home, to reconcile the memories with reality and to discover the truth about the life she’s living.

Goodreads review by aleksandra on April 16, 2024

4/5 Kelley McNeil just found herself a huge new fan because her books fall into the category of novels that remind me why I love reading. I know this author only has two stories, but reading these two books stirred so many emotions in me that even if I combine all the feelings I felt from some of the......more

Goodreads review by Rosh ~on extended semihiatus~ on January 21, 2022

In a Nutshell: Quite an interesting debut novel with a challenging concept. But it aims too high and thus struggles to tie the story together neatly.

Goodreads review by Jen on October 02, 2021

I absolutely loved this book and read it in one sitting. It centers on Annie, who gets in a car accident with her daughter, but wakes up being told that she never had a daughter at all.

Masterfully crafted and wonderfully original, A Day Like This is storytelling at its best, leaving you with the tingly “what if” feeling that keeps you wondering about the story and the possibilities for your own life long after the last page is turned.......more

Quotes

“Amanda Leigh Cobb embodies the voice of Annie, who is struggling to make sense of the new world she finds herself in, a world in which Hannah never existed, her "yellow house" is gone, and her marriage has ended. As the story shifts between a present she doesn't recognize and a past happy life with Hannah and her husband, Cobb's voice is filled with emotion. She often sounds frustrated and on the edge of tears as Annie tries to make sense of a past and present that do not fit together.” —AudioFile Magazine“…fresh and absorbing.” —Booklist“A literary masterpiece of magical realism, A Day Like This is a riveting read and showcases author Kelley McNeil’s impressive flair for original and narrative driven storytelling.” —Midwest Book Review
