Whatever I was expecting when I started this book, those expectations were turned inside out and backwards in the best possible way. Urban fiction finds a setting in a not-too-distant future in which the Leteo Institute has developed a way to expunge unwanted memories. And admitting that he's gay has led to enough heartache in Bronx-kid Aaron's life that he may just be ready to undergo the procedure. A top-notch exploration of identity and friendship and pain and happiness and small moments of beauty that can be found in life's messiness.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the digital ARC.
