Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac

Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac
Gabrielle Zevin

Recommended by Christine Guerrero

What if you suddenly couldn't remember the last four years? Would you like your friends? Would you like the choices you have made for yourself and your time? Would you change anything?

This simple story is about a teenage girl who falls down some stairs and loses her memory for the past four years. As she is figuring out life with this brain injury and memory loss she comes to terms with friends and boyfriends she doesn't like, passions she is not sure why she invested time on and a lot of questions about who she is and who she loves.

I really enjoyed reading this book. A simple yet compelling and thought provoking story. What would you change if you suddenly had a brand new perspective on your world? And of course that question begs the next one: then why don't you change it anyway?
