With thanks to Jo Harkin and Random House UK for an advanced readers copy of this book.
4*
We'll start with the obvious, this book has a really fascinating concept. Who are we without our memories?
If you could have pain, trauma, embarrassment and setbacks removed would you? Without the memory of it would we be different people? Would that be better people?
Those are the questions Harkin sets on to explore in this twist, intriguing multi-POV novel. I was going to give this one 3.5* but Harkin skilfully brought all of the loose threads in each POV and tied them together in a neat knot at the end.

It was fine.
As everyone else is saying, it’s Black Mirror meets Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. Two very fascinating concepts brought together with five multidimensional people all looking for answers and not knowing where to place blame.
I first thought it could’ve been five short stories but they all slowly begin to tie together, showing how one person affects another. And the ending speech simply tied everything together.

I enjoyed this in that it was entertaining. I liked the character interactions, and even found myself laughing aloud a few times. I think at least one of the storylines could have been removed and not affected the overall arc. I didn't connect so much with the characters, but overall it was a solid 4 for me.
