The Memory Thief by Lauren Mansy
4.0

I really enjoyed this book. I flew through it in one day! It’s face paced, the premise is fantastically intriguing, and the characters are exciting. We only know them for a short time but I felt like they were well developed. ⁣⁣

I was pulled to this book because of the premise. A world where memories are currency? What a fabulous idea! An epic journey to save her mother? Count me in! ⁣⁣

Though I liked that it was fast-paced, I also felt it was a bit detrimental at times. The whole story takes place in about a week and several of the points in the timeline felt a bit murky and confusing. I also felt like, due to the short timeline, emotions seemed a bit rushed as well. I won’t go into detail because it would be a major spoiler, but one very big moment was kind of ruined for me because Etta was just like “okay, I accept this as truth” even though her whole life she believed something different. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
All in all, I would definitely recommend this read. It’s quick, it’s fun, and it’s light.
