"HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO TO TRUST WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN TRUST YOURSELF?
I look at my hands. One of them says FLORA BE BRAVE.
Flora has anterograde amnesia. She can't remember anything day-to-day: the joke her friend made, the instructions her parents gave her, how old she is.
Then she kisses someone she shouldn't, and the next day she remembers it. It's the first time she's remembered anything since she was ten.
But the boy is gone. She thinks he's moved to the Arctic. Will following him be the key to unlocking her memory? Who can she trust?"
My Rating: 3.5/5
This book wasn't what I thought it would be. When I heard about it I assumed that it would be a mystery, but unfortunately, it was more of a contemporary. Not that that's a huge deal. The concept is very interesting and there is in one a mysterious element to the story. That being said the content has to be repetitive just due to the fact that the main character has amnesia. I also found that the timeline was hard to follow for similar reasons. I felt as though more time had passed almost always than had. And in some ways, I felt that really put me in the headspace of Flora, but in some ways took away other aspects of the plot.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
