“Sometimes we want to get away from ourselves so bad we’d do anything to get out of our own skin.”
This book takes place in a future world where we now have the ability to release people from our memories. Blue is having trouble remembering and feels like something is missing from her life so she goes to investigate what was removed from her memory.
This book explores mental health, suicide, loss and grief. Please read with care.
This book had me bawling. I read this in one sitting which I rarely do. The writing was great, I just wish there was a little more. I wish I could have gotten to know Blue outside of her grief.
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for a chance to read this via e-arc.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read Remember Me by Estelle Laure in exchange for an honest review.
Let me just start by saying the concept of this book is incredible. A way to have your memories removed, to save you from reliving, or feeling, traumatic events. What could go wrong. This book explores what could go wrong when one young woman discovered that her body felt the old memories, but her brain wasn’t making the connections. She wanted it reversed, but is that even possible.
So I love the concept, however, the execution just wasn’t there. The story felt shallow, like it was missing something. It felt as if I was reading the very first draft, the one where you get the plot details down and plan to add the depth later. This book had the opportunity to be amazing, I still think it could be with some tweaking. But alas, it is what it is. I believe that this book will be amazing for some people, but for me it didn’t work out. I just couldn’t shake the feeling of wanting more.
