The Memory Thief by Lauren Mansy
2.0

I really wanted to like this book. I loved the title, the cover and the synopsis. It had so much potential and for me, it totally fell flat. The writing wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. Almost every time Etta had problems, someone would show up and solve the problem for her. There was hardly any reason for the character development that felt awkward and forced. The language was so oddly formal, it didn’t seem like it fit, but that could just be the very monotone narrator who sounded the same throughout the range of emotions that Etta experiences. I wouldn’t have finished this book, but I was curious if the ending would redeem everything else. For me, it didn’t.
