This was a beautiful, realistic love story, set within the unlikely scenario of an amnestic teenager forgetting her two year relationship with her girlfriend. The tension and fears were real, and the ending was poignant.

This book plays with the amnesia trope in a way that is very unique. I love how Stevie’s pov is written. Ultimately, some of the relationships between Stevie and her friends seem a little off, and too many characters seem really flat, and developments seem to be pushed along regardless of whether the groundwork for them had really been laid. It is a good story about the power of tenacity and love to change your world.

This was a pretty enjoyable read. I’m not sure that I really liked that Stevie never got her memory, but I’m not sure whether this is realistic amnesia rep. I really liked the romance between Nora and Stevie. I understand why Nora didn’t tell Stevie but I felt like she deserved to know. I wish the last two chapters had been stretched out a little more. Overall I really liked this book.

I read this in one day basically and couldn't put it down. I was so worried about what would happen, and I felt so much for the characters. I didn't look at the premise before reading so it caught me entirely by surprise. I really liked this book.
