Description
Samantha McCoy has her life mapped out. She's going to win the national debating championship, move to New York and become a human rights lawyer. But when she discovers that a rare disease will take away her memory, the future she'd planned so perfectly is derailed before it starts. Realising that her life won't wait to be lived, Samantha sets out on a summer of firsts - the first party, the first rebellion, the first friendship, and the last love. This poignant story explores the complexities of love, loss, and living in the present. A powerful and thought-provoking novel about finding meaning in the face of uncertainty, The Memory Book is a heart-wrenching portrayal of one girl's journey to discover herself and her place in the world.
