Amnesic characters abound in young adult fiction, clustering in a mass almost large enough to create an entire sub-genre: memory loss books. As much as this ploy captivates me, it is no secret that scattered memories are growing more and more common, and therefore authors must work harder and harder to make their tales unique.

This book reminds us of what our minds are capable of. Ember is a very likable teenager that almost doesn't want to be liked.

This book felt so promising when it first started out. Ember is a teenage girl trying to piece her memories back together after a terrible car accident. So far so good but throw in a couple of cliche love interests and suddenly my interest takes a nose dive. I felt like the story ran a little long with a lot of filler.
