5.0

This book floored me and I will never be the same. It was a genius move on the author’s part to give the main character amnesia at the beginning of the book. We as the reader are just as confused as to how Zach ended up in rehab as he is and we get to go with him on his journey towards remembrance and recovery. Yes there are many sad moments but don’t let that deter you - this book will break your heart and simultaneously put it back together again! Truly brilliant.
