Remember Me by Estelle Laure
3.0
If you could erase all of your painful memories would you?
Blue wakes up one day feeling something is wrong with only a note telling her to get on the Little Blue bus to guide her. She gets on the bus and soon learns from a boy, Adam, that she had paid to have her memories removed. Blue then goes an a journey to try to reclaim her memories and find out why she wanted to lose them in the first place.
This book was beautiful in so many ways, but also so heavy. It very strongly deals with depression, trauma, grief, loss and what it means to move on, and will likely be difficult to read for many people. I enjoyed the build up in this story - there was a lot of tension as we saw flashbacks from Blue’s life before the memory erasing and there was a lot of suspense waiting to learn more about her past. Despite the heavy themes, I thought the ending and the overall message were so beautiful.
Thanks to Wednesday Books and NetGalley for the advanced copy.
