This was an awesome book about remembering and the how and why around it.

I remember very little. From childhood through adulthood and this book did give me a little insight on why that is.

Why only 3 stars? For me, it read too much like a text book (which, I guess it is).

Many thanks to Netgalley and Rodale Inc Harmony for this advanced readers copy. This book is scheduled to release in March 2021.

I love Lisa Genova’s fictional books and was quite curious as to how her non-fiction would read – fully scientific or layman’s terms?  I was pleased to find it easy to follow and very interesting.  As a bonus, I learned a lot.  There are actual reasons as to why I forget things and ways to try to remember things.  I also now have an excuse to take naps and/or go to bed earlier to help commit information to memory.  Who doesn’t like more sleep??
