I didn't like the writing style. There was so much repetition and the pace is very slow.
It’s kinda hard to keep up with so many characters written in so many POVs, and there is only like 1 interesting chapter in the entire book.

This is an engaging and often poignant story about memory, memory deletion, and relationships. Nepenthe is a clinic successfully deleting memories, which then has to start restoring memories after a court case. There are self-informed clients, who know that they had a memory deleted, and then there are the self-confidential patients who aren't aware they've had the procedure until they receive notice that they're eligible to have the memories restored. The story follows several likable patients and a doctor at the clinic, and the deletion stories, when they come, are satisfying.
This was a quick, worthwhile read.
