A review by katrinky
MEM by Bethany C. Morrow

4.0

I think I really liked this book, but it's also hard to tell because it's derivative of lots of things I DEFINITELY like: eternal sunshine, never let me go, minority report. The idea of epiphanies regenerating while memories expire is clever, though I think most memories of really good or really bad things, which are usually what get extracted, include epiphanies, so it seems unlikely Dolores 1/ Elsie would really be unique...

Also the note from the author at the end about refusing to ignore Canada's racist history, while then explaining that there will be no racism in the book, was irritating. Just... Why even write the note??
