I am writing a book about an amnesia patient. I do not know much about amnesia, which is quite shameful, but I want to know how to write this book in a way that does not make it cliché.

My protagonist doesn't remember her past but she _does_ remember basic stuff like the language for example, names of companies, names of alcohol and even names of clothing brands. My book is supposed to be a _thriller_ and I do not see it going the way I wanted it to go.

What do I do and also how do I describe how an amnesia patient should feel about everything?
