In a society that loses its collective memory, one girl remembers everything. Beloved author of Rook Sharon Cameron takes readers by storm with her brilliant foray into science fiction. Seventeen-year-old Nadia lives in Canaan, a quiet city in an idyllic world, hemmed in by high walls that are constructed of a material no one in her town recognizes. Every twelve years, the people of Canaan undergo a collective Forgetting, in the days before which the town devolves into a chaos of bloody violence, and after which the people are left without any trace of memory of themselves, their families, their lives. Nadia has never forgotten, however. As the next Forgetting approaches, Nadia is determined to find out what causes it and whether there is any way to stop it. With the help of Gray, the handsome glassblower's son, she discovers that there is a devious plot afoot...one that keeps the people of Canaan permanently subdued. Will Nadia be able to solve the mystery before the people forget the truth? And before Gray forgets her? A remarkable story of memory and loss, love and indomitable courage.

YES!! I've been wanting to read a dystopian for a long time, but was having trouble finding a newer one. This one was everything I wanted!!

For whatever reason, I have SO been in the mood for some Dystopian Hunger Games-like stuff, and of course I'm like 4 years too late. The Dystopian fad is clearly over--- which YAY, because all those forced HG knock-offs were getting SO old-- but that doesn't mean I want them to go extinct!! There's still room for the good ones isn't there??

Enter The Forgetting. I was recommended this book, and since I had it lying around, I decided to give it a try. I was instantly hooked. I loved the idea that everyone forgot, but Nadia didn't. It was a secret that was dangerous and begging to come out. I loved that she knew stuff about people that THEY didn't know about themselves-- including her own family. Reading about how she had to keep all that inside made me feel so sorry for her-- and it made me want to keep reading to see how it would all come out.

The other part that made this book exciting were Nadia's trips over the wall. The city that Nadia lives in is surrounded by a wall that no one is allowed over for fear of the dangers on the other side. They can't remember what those dangers are, but no one is allowed to find out. So, when Nadia went over, it DEFINITELY was giving me Hunger Games vibes and I was really thinking this book was going to be a knock-off. AND when the Glassblower's son starts hanging around, I was thinking "oh is this like the Baker's son??", but I promise that's where the Hunger Games-vibes ended. After they go outside of the walls together, they start discovering CRAZY things about their society, and I got super invested in this exciting story.

I also really liked the Nadia/Gray relationship. It was obvious that it was going to happen, but it felt organic and not forced or icky. Gray was a little annoying with his constant need to "smirk", but I forgave him that because he was more than the flirty jerk that he initially appeared to be.

My fave part: Nadia was the hero. Gray helps, but it's clear that Nadia is the one making the decisions, keeping the secrets, and figuring out a way to save the city from itself.

I will definitely be reading the next book in this series, [b:The Knowing|34109606|The Knowing (The Forgetting, #2)|Sharon Cameron|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1486156772s/34109606.jpg|55135546]-- which comes out October 10th!! I am a little bummed that it's not still following Nadia and Gray, but I'm going to give the new characters and time period a shot. If it's half as good as The Forgetting, I'll still really like it.

OVERALL: I am SO glad I was persuaded to pick this up. I was in the mood for a good Dystopian, and I got EXACTLY what I was hoping for. It's adventure and thrills and a cute romance all in one. I loved unraveling the mystery of this society, and was super surprised and excited by the reveal. I SO recommend and be on the lookout for the sequel coming out October 10, 2017!!

I am vacillating between 3.5 and 4 stars for this one. 3.5 because it was a bit too YA but 4 because it was a really fun YA. It's a dystopian novel in the vein of Divergent and Hunger Games without the blood sports and more the "adults are screwing with us" way. I found the concept interesting and I wasn't terribly annoyed by the YA romance...my eye rolling was kept to a minimum. There is a sequel as it's a duology but the story wraps up nicely on its own so you're not compelled to read the sequel but I would like to. It was more sci-fi than I expected but that will never be a complaint from me -my inner geek will always be pleased by that. My daughter was talking about it as a choice for her Middle School Book Club and then I had a Popsugar prompt about "forgetting" to fill - DONE! ( )

Every twelve years the city of Canaan breaks out in violence followed by “the Forgetting,” which leaves each person with no of memory of themselves, their families, or their lives--all except Nadia, who has never forgotten and is determined to find the cause and put a stop to it.

It wasn't bad... It was just meandering? I felt like it was a bit too slow and long.
I felt like this 90% of the time while reading:
It was ai'ight. A solid 3 to 3 1/2 stars. ( )

An interesting mystery with a great concept, a little bogged down by the requisite romance. ( )
