I Lost My Memory Before the Divorce Was Agreed Novel Review

My Thoughts on I Lost My Memory Before the Divorce Was Agreed

"I Lost My Memory Before the Divorce Was Agreed" sounded like a fun, fluffy read, and while it delivers on some of that promise, it also stumbled in areas that left me a bit conflicted. The premise is intriguing: a man loses his memories right before his divorce, reverting to his younger, more innocent self and believing he's still deeply in love with his cold CEO husband.

First Impressions

Initially, I was charmed by the set-up. The idea of a second chance at love through amnesia is a classic trope, and I was curious to see how the author would handle it. I dove in expecting a lighthearted, easy read, and for the first few chapters, that's exactly what I got.

What Works Well

The story shines when it focuses on the development of the relationship between the MC and ML after the memory loss. Many readers praised the heartwarming content, especially the way the ML starts to fall for the MC's naive and sincere affection. I found myself enjoying the moments where the ML, used to a cold and business-like marriage, is confronted with the MC's youthful exuberance and genuine care. The idea that the MC brings warmth and familial affection that the ML was missing from his life was well done.

Areas of Concern

However, I did find some aspects of the novel problematic. The portrayal of the MC's amnesia-induced personality rubbed me the wrong way. While the intention was likely to create a "cute" and "innocent" character, it often veered into infantilizing territory. I can see how some readers would find the MC's behavior endearing, but I struggled with the extreme naivety, which at times felt less like an 18-year-old and more like a child.

Final Verdict

"I Lost My Memory Before the Divorce Was Agreed" is a mixed bag. If you're looking for a fluffy romance with a sweet, albeit somewhat childish, protagonist and a cold CEO who slowly melts, you might enjoy this. However, be prepared for some potentially cringeworthy moments and a protagonist whose naivety might test your patience. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. While I appreciated certain elements, the execution of the amnesia trope and the characterization of the MC left me with mixed feelings.
