HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO TO TRUST WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN TRUST YOURSELF?
I look at my hands. One of them says FLORA BE BRAVE.
Flora has anterograde amnesia. She can't remember anything day-to-day: the joke her friend made, the instructions her parents gave her, how old she is.
Then she kisses someone she shouldn't, and the next day she remembers it. It's the first time she's remembered anything since she was ten.
But the boy is gone. She thinks he's moved to the Arctic.
Will following him be the key to unlocking her memory? Who can she trust?
THE ONE MEMORY OF FLORA BANKS is the unforgettable YA novel to take home this summer.

Advance Praise
Goodreads praise:
“I was dazzled by this book. It's sharp and clever… It's part thriller (a la Memento) and part YA contemporary. It's a romance, but not in the sense that you'd expect…”

“ It's part amnesia thriller - à la 'The Girl on the Train' - and part YA romance (albeit a heavily subversive one) but it never feels predominantly like one or the other”
