Forgotten is Unforgettable!

I devoured this book in two days, because I was so eager to know what would happen next to London, and what her "flash-forwards" would foretell.

Imagine for moment that your short term memory is gone. You don't remember what happened yesterday, or the day before that. You must rely on notes that you write meticulously at the end of each day to know what happened in the last few months of your life. You know who your mother is, and your best friend, and which high school you go to. But you can't remember why the head cheerleader always glares at you. Or why the new boy seems to recognize you.

Welcome to London's life. She reads her notes every morning to make sure she doesn't wear the same outfit two days in a row. And to understand what is going on her life so she can appear "normal" to everyone else around her. London has no short-term memory and portions of her long term memory are gone as well. She does, however, have "flash-forwards" of what the future may hold. London is able to survive with the help of her notes, her mom and her best friend. But when Luke Henry, the new boy at school, things get complicated.

This is Cat Patrick's debut novel for teens, that was inspired by her experience of sleep deprivation and not being able to remember things properly for a day. I am looking forward to seeing what other amazing plot ideas she write in the future
