What would you do if you lost 4 years of your life? There have been plenty of times growing up that I had wished that I could wipe out certain times in my life, but how would I handle it if I did. Memory isn't selective, good memories can disappear just as well as the bad ones.
Naomi was just about to start her Junior year in high-school when she slipped down a flight of stairs and injured her head. The result was amnesia. The last for years of her life were wiped out. Naomi starts to wonder about some of her decisions the past 4 years. Why am I dating Ace? I don't think I love him. Why am I involved in certain activities in school? Were they important to me? Why am I mad at my mom? All these questions and more go through Naomi's mind as she tries to navigate through each day at school.
Her best friend Will is there to try and help, but he can't answer all of her questions as much as he might like to. He tries to provide memory joggers, without her knowing it by making mix CDs. Then there is James the new love of her life who was there when she fell. But is he a reliable character, he has a troubled past which could affect his relationship with Naomi.
High school is hard enough without losing a big part of your identity.
I really like this story. The characters are well developed and are easy to like. From quirky will to young Chloe, each step in the next 10 months of Naomi's life will catch your attention and keep you interested until the end. Very good read!
