About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager feels paralyzed by the pressure of the future or struggles with the feeling that their life is moving in a direction they cannot control. It is an ideal pick for teens navigating the 'social amnesia' of high school, where reputations and relationships change overnight, leaving them feeling disconnected from their own history. The story follows London Lane, a sixteen-year-old who loses her memories of the past every night but experiences 'flash-forwards' of her future. As she navigates a new romance and uncovering family secrets, the book explores themes of identity, trust, and the importance of living in the moment. While there are some mature romantic elements and a mystery involving a past tragedy, it is an empowering read about taking agency over one's life. It offers a unique lens through which to discuss anxiety and the subjective nature of memory.
