5.0

This is the third book by Claire North that I've read, and I am completely impressed by this author. She has a way of developing such human characters with imperfections and faults that are realistic even in a sci-fi book.

In The Sudden Appearance of Hope, the protagonist is forgotten within minutes of leaving a person's sight. She lives a life of crime because it's easy to get away with it if no one can remember. Sounds great until you think about the lack of lasting human relations. Who are you if the only person who can form a lasting opinion of you is...you?
