The Sudden Appearance of Hope
by Claire North
3/5 stars. The world forgets Hope as soon as she is out of sight, which is useful for a jewel thief. There's a lot to like here - North's writing is great, Hope is an intriguing character, and the consequences of her unique trait are well thought out and consistent. The book explores ideas of loneliness in the midst of society and the limits of how much individual morals can or ever should be separate from those of society.
But in the end I just didn't care what happened in the plot. Being forgotten means it's hard to build relationships, so Hope can't drive character development in others.
