Â
Seventeen-year-old Flora Banks has no short-term memory. Her mind resets itself several times a day, and has since the age of ten, when the tumor that was removed from Floraâ€™s brain took with it her ability to make new memories. That is, until she kisses Drake, her best friend's boyfriend, the night before he leaves town. Miraculously, this one memory breaks through Flora's fractured mind, and sticks. Flora is convinced that Drake is responsible for restoring her memory and making her whole again. So, when an encouraging email from Drake suggests she meet him on the other side of the worldâ€”in Svalbard, Norwayâ€”Flora knows with certainty that this is the first step toward reclaiming her life.
Â
But will following Drake be the key to unlocking Floraâ€™s memory? Or will the journey reveal that nothing is quite as it seems?
Â
Already a bestselling debut in the UK, this unforgettable novel is Memento meets We Were Liars and will have you racing through the pages to unravel the truth.
