Short and Sweet:

I have so many feels for this book. It's gripping, intense, and mind-boggling. Basically, book hangover alert right here.


To Elaborate...

Molly keeps finding holes in her memory. One minute, she'll be in class or at home, the next she can't remember the last hour or day. When she encounters a stranger who oddly enough seems to know her, memories start resurfacing that don't make sense. As more of the holes are filled, Molly will have to find out if she's ready to face the entire truth.


This book, people. THIS BOOK. Normally, psychologically-focused books aren't my thing in the sense that I'll give it a try if it sounds good, but I don't actively seek them, but this one completely and utterly blew me away. Literally 3% into the book I knew I was going to love it. The writing is just so....mesmerizing. You want to know what's going on with Molly so badly and I couldn't stop reading. I pretty much devoured page after page trying to put this whole picture together.


Just to rein in my absolute gushing for a sec, I can see that this might not be everyone's favorite. It has a certain feel to it and style of writing that not everyone will like (like sometimes there are moments of heavier repetition for emphasis). Of course no book will fit everyone anyway, but this was just one that captured my heart. It's like when you meet someone and you're just like, "Oh right, of course you're in my life."


The part of me that craves firm and secure endings wasn't too happy at the end, but shoving that part aside, I still loved it. It was fitting and beautiful and perfect for the characters. All in all, I couldn't recommend this one enough if you're in the mood for an awesome story and a slight messing with your mind. :)
