I did not finish this book. It was way too hard to get through. In the description it describes the book as a dystopian future, but the setting was more before/introducing the change to a dystopian world. I felt that the first 30% of the book was repetitive, and I was annoyed in reading the same things about the memories. It felt like a bit of background knowledge about the memories and how they worked would've been sufficient. I felt like I was reading a technical scientific manual versus a young adult book. I really wanted to love this book, but it just missed the mark for me.

I enjoyed the premise of this book, and I was pulled right in by the description. It reads a lot like an episode of Black Mirror, so fans of the show will likely enjoy this a lot. On the other hand, I found some parts, especially at the beginning, to be very repetitive and slow. It builds a sense of "wrongness" before things are revealed, but I also wish we used the time to maybe take a deeper dive into the implications of Enhanced Memory.

This book has a slow-fast rhythm, I found myself struggling to focus during the slow parts, but zoomed in 100 percent when it picked up the pace.
This book is almost like an episode off black mirror. What would happen if you could experience something by taking the memory of someone else?
Would we all stop living and view life as a third party?
I’m giving this book 3 stars because some parts were amazing and other parts dragged out to long, repeating the same things over in different ways.
