The Memory Book
by Lara Avery
This book. THIS BOOK.
It's about a girl named Sammie, who has a degenerative disease similar to dementia. She is focused, driven, and about to be on her way to Stanford and she is a debate pro. The only problem is, she is going to start losing her memory.
This book is heartbreaking and sweet. It's full of optimism and hope, but it also doesn't gloss over the hard topics. The hard topics also aren't obsessed about. This is not a book that is all about disease. Just like life, you take things and deal with them as they come at you.
There's also a bit of a love story here, which I loved. It was so natural, and I was rooting for them the whole time. At the beginning of the book I couldn't really see them together, but the more I read, the more I grew to love them together.
This book just put me on a roller coaster of feelings and I highly recommend it to anyone, especially anyone who likes reading about realistic portrayals of illness.
