False Memory Syndrome has plagued the country. People are nearing insanity as real and false memories cloud their minds. After failing to save a woman unable to decipher between the two, detective Barry Sutton begins searching for the truth. And what he finds is certainly not what he expected.
Helena Smith has dedicated her life to developing a technology that will capture the memories of those, like her beloved mother, suffering from Alzheimer’s. When she receives the unending funding to make it actually possible, it doesn’t go quite as planned.
You don’t get this type of science friction often — a mind-bending look at memory loss and how we might change it. It’s a vortex of good versus evil. And although the ending was a bit redundant and dragged out, the majority of the book was a fast-paced, alternating-POV race against time itself.

So original, well-written, loved the explanation of the reasoning/science behind the ideas, loved the end, loved Helena and Barry omg, and all the wildly horrific things in between lol I didn’t expect it to be so heavy or to make me feel all the feels at every turn!! LOVED.
