Thank you to Colored Pages Book Tours and Quill Tree Books for the ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I rated this book 5 stars. When I first heard the premise of this book, I didn’t know what I was really in for. This story truly ripped my heart into tiny pieces (in the best way) and put them back together by the end. It was surprisingly heavy, but still very appropriate for a YA audience.
The dual POVs from both Yena and Lucas, interspersed with sound-based memory fragments, created such an emotional and vivid narrative structure. It’s a stunning exploration of what it means to be the one forgotten, while also grappling with the ethical implications of memory-erasing technology. Just because we can, doesn’t always mean we should.
This book beautifully touches on themes like complicated family dynamics, the emotional aftermath of memory loss (especially for those who remember), and the pain and power of reconnection. All of this is set against the rich and immersive cultural backdrop of Busan, which only added to the depth and beauty of the story.
Sarah Suk’s writing is immersive and emotionally charged, while still feeling accessible and grounded in a very relatable coming-of-age voice. It truly feels like being inside the minds of two teens trying to make sense of heartbreak, identity, and hope. Poignant, captivating, and immensely moving.
