This is my favorite of Silvera's books, and it's not really a surprise. If you know the premise of this book, it fits well into my life (though I don't have anterograde amnesia, I have a different memory problem).

I think I'm going to recommend this book for my dad who keeps trying to understand my memory problems (because I haven't found any fiction about ECT memory loss). Obviously, anterograde is different, but the loss of time, missing out on segments of my life, that's accurate.

...I don't know how I feel about the new ending. It's not like it's wrong, it's just that unless pills magically start working for me, I don't get an ending where all I lost was a year. Not to say that's a small sacrifice, but I've been on ECTs so long I don't remember when I started (though it would be very un-YA to have Aaron be like, 28 when he gets cured) Maybe I'm just jealous? I wouldn't go as far as to say Aaron is magically cured and doesn't have sacrifices made from becoming disabled, but it feels weird to have like 5 or more chapters devoted to "I've got anterograde amnesia, can't be left alone anymore, can't work anymore," and then "ONE YEAR LATER: it's fixed!"

I feel like there's a lot to say about this book, maybe I'll sort out my feelings soon.
