I feel like this book could have been cut by 1/4 and have been much better. And I felt like there was not much that surprised me. I got bored, but I also wanted to finish just to see how the author wrapped it up.

In a world where you can forget the bad things getting a wipe is much easier than therapy but also a society like that comes with it's own problems. Theoretically there is a proper process in place to make sure that people don't forget things they shouldn't and that it is safe. 
Our story is a multi-POV and it's only in the final part we see how the characters link together and learn more about the consequences of what they chose to forget and what they might or might not chose to remember.

Although I normally enjoy much faster paced books the themes and the ideas behind this one kept me interested through the slow start as I got to know the cast. 
The concept behind this one will stay with me much longer than the plot and characters. Definitely worth a read but be prepared for a slow pace looking at forgotten motives and the idea of the self.

I wish that the author had focused on a few strong characters rather than many okay ones. Finns storyline was not needed in my opinion. I understood why he was there but it was meh.
