Description

Astrid can’t remember the best day of her life: yesterday.

A traumatic car accident erases Astrid’s memories of September 9th, the day she spent with an oddly charming stranger named Theo. Ever since, she’s been haunted by surreal dreams and an urgent sense that she’s forgotten something important. One night, she gets a mysterious call from Oliver, who knows more about her than he should and claims he can help her remember. She accepts his help, even as she questions his motives and fights a strange attraction to him.

In order to find Theo and piece together that lost day in September, Astrid must navigate a maze of eccentric Boston nightlife, from the seedy corners of Chinatown to a drug-fueled Alice-in-Wonderland-themed party to a club where everyone dresses like the dead. In between headaches and nightmares, she struggles to differentiate between memory, fantasy, and reality, and starts to wonder if Theo really exists. Eventually, she’ll need to choose between continuing her search for him or following her growing feelings for Oliver. Astrid might go to extreme lengths to find what she’s lost . . . or might lose even more in her pursuit to remember (like her sanity).

Astrid has no memories from September 9th, 1999. When she woke the following day, after being in an accident, she cannot remember what she did the day prior. At first, she doesn't realize the entire day is missing. Instead of returning to Boston, she stays in New York with her father and best friend, to recuperate a bit before going home. When she gets home there is so much going on, she still does not realize a day is missing. When she reaches out to Oliver, she realizes the 9th is missing from her memory. Oliver tells her he will help her find those memories. She begins to remember pieces of the 9th which include her meeting Theo. Along the way, Astrid and Oliver begin to have romantic feelings for each other, making her wonder if she really wants to know about everything that took place on the 9th. Things get more mysterious and there is the possibility Theo never existed. There are twists and turns that keep Astrid and the reader guessing. The ending made my draw drop. DO NOT skip to the end of this book!!! I am giving this a 4.5-star rounding to 5
