MEM by Bethany C. Morrow
3.0
A disclaimer: I'm not a huge sci-fi or romance fan, nor am I a fan of things set in the past. Those are all major elements in "Mem."
It's not that I didn't like this book -- I just never really engaged with this book. The concepts it presents and the questions it poses just aren't ones I really care about. It reads a little like YA fiction. Again, not bad, but in reading this, I didn't get anything new out of it.
I do like that it was about memory and the story was split between the past in the present (which is exactly what memories are). It's thematically fitting. The protagonist is likeable and, unlike most YA (or near-YA novels), she is completely functional and autonomous. Fantastic.
I don't know. It just wasn't anything new and exciting for me.
