after a family tragedy, aaron struggles to find happiness. he begins slowly remembering how to find happiness with his girlfriend genevieve, but is even more encouraged to open up with his new best friend thomas. getting closer to thomas makes aaron realize something he might not be willing to face, though. he wishes he could forget, and with the help of leteo institute’s groundbreaking new treatment, he might be able to do just that.
i always find sci-fi elements in contemporary novels interesting, so i liked the talk about leteo institute and how they got rid of people’s memories in a world that otherwise mirrors our own. i thought this book blended the sci-fi element with the contemporary setting well and i liked the discussion of how it’s important to remember some things even when they make us sad, and how there’s some things that demand to be remembered.
i’d recommend this book but only if you’re in the mood for something heavy; this really isn’t a feel-good novel.
