I wanted to love this book. The premise is incredible, like something out of a Black Mirror episode which is what made me want to read it in the first place. The writing was pretty decent but the book seemed to drag on anyway. There were several times I wanted to give up. There really is no one thing I can point out and say "heres where it went wrong" it just lacked the oomph to really grab my attention. Its a shame really, I feel there is so much untapped potential within the story. After all is said and done I'd rate this about a 3 or 3.5 star. Not terrible, but not for me either.

Thank you to netgalley and Meredith Westgate for providing an advance e-copy for my honest review.… (plus d'informations)

As a nurse who works with Alzheimer's patients daily, I was very intrigued by the premise of this book. I continued to be interested and fascinated as the characters partake in an expirmental drug called Mem.

With today's culture focused on new drugs and the treatment of all types of condition, I can envision this entire scenario occuring. There might have even been a movie similar to this recently, but I cannot recall the name. However, this felt like a movie in my head. The unfortunate part of new drugs is that we just don't know the long term effects, such as forgetting everything that happened in a drug meant to help us remember.

Sophie and Lucien are fabulous characters and I loved reading their story. I hope to read more from this author.… (plus d'informations)
