The Forgetting

I think it's a bit of a mess– I loved reading the book and would definitely recommend it to people I know, but it's not perfect. It felt like a mix of dystopian classics (like 1984, We, Brave New World, and what have you, but simpler, more in-your-face) with generic Young Adult. It has all these great themes which I love yet it's filled to the brim with YA-clichés and romance. It's a brilliant book– for its audience.

The worldbuilding is fantastic. The characters were fleshed out and relatable. The romance felt realistic and real, and while the book felt a bit slow at times, it's a quick read.

The concept is great and the execution is not what I was expecting. It's worth a read.
