It's like The Bourne Identity meets Memento (she keeps encountering notes written to herself from the past), and soon she discovers she has superpowers and is a high-ranking official in a secret British paranormal government agency.
So yeah, that grabbed me right from the start and I can't stop reading.

Sound like part of
Men in Black II and
Total Recall. Basically that "I can't remember who I am, but I've left enough clues lying around to help me figure out who I am" plot has been done to death.
