Jenny has felt one step behind since college. All her friends’ lives seemed to have taken off on an upward trajectory while hers remained stagnant. What gives? At her 15 year college reunion, she’s finally clued in. She missed the Memo. But she’s getting it now…
Overall I was a bit disappointed. The concept sounded fun and it really should have been. Unfortunately it just wasn’t written in a way that made me care about any of the characters. The whole thing seemed to fall flat. The timeline jumping and pseudoscience mumbo jumbo talk certainly didn’t help, it really made it hard to sink into the story. This could have been done a lot better, but I praise the idea itself. It’s too bad it wasn’t executed better.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC on exchange for an honest review.
