The Memory Thief by Lauren Mansy
2.0

Beautiful cover. Interesting idea about a world of people with the ability to give, take, and steal memories. Violent enough that it’s for teens, but also seems to lack a finesse and flow, so ideal for grades 7 up. Critique is that many of the plot twists were seen very early on. Other plot points seemed like retreading of common tropes. Time and distance seem to jump quickly and romance was forced.
