I really was pleasantly surprised by this book.
This book asks the idea of what would happen if you could erase your memories and follows the journeys of people who have both had it done and those who facilitate that. I could never have guessed how this story went and the way it would make me squeal in delight and sigh in frustration.
For once I genuinely loved the characters, especially Emmet. I found myself really rooting for him and relating to the way that he thought and felt.
I think my biggest issue with this book was the pacing especially during part 2. It did change genres halfway through and I think going into that blind like I did is not the best idea because I did want yo stop part the way through part 2 but once that got going I could not put that book down. I was LOVING every minute and spent ungodly hours trying to wiz through.
Whole the ending felt a little stilted for me I did really like it. I like how rounded and realistic the story felt and the world and ethics that Collins created. I'm very happy that I read this book and I would absolutely recommend it.
