Description
A potent and compulsive novel about the dangers of growing up online, from the author of the Irish Book Awards-nominated None of This is Serious.
You're nine when you get your first computer. It's not long before you discover porn. You don't know what you're watching, but you do know that you shouldn't tell anybody.
Later, older, your first kiss is captured on camera and shared with everyone in your year. Part of the incessant cycle of posting, sharing and liking.
Now, you can't remember a time when you didn't feel hollow inside. Now, you know that something has to change.
Chilling, potent and intensely intimate, This Is How You Remember It is about a life lived online - and about finding another way when it's all you've ever known.
