I loved this book. It caught my attention pretty quickly and kept it until the end.

London Lane has a memory problem unlike that of anyone else. She can't remember the past, only the future. She writes herself notes everyday to help her remember things. Then she meets Luke and things in her life begin to change. The things that she experiences and finds are heartbreaking.

There aren't many characters in this book, but then again, it doesn't need them. The extra characters are in the story just enough to make it better, but not take away from the story. I really loved Luke. You just have to read it to understand.

There were parts that were a bit frustrating and I found myself yelling at London. I felt like the end of the book could have better. What I mean by that is I felt like it got to a point and then just cut off. I wanted more to the story to bring more closure. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was different and I recommend it to everyone.

I liked this book the best from Cat Patrick.. I would have liked a bit more at the ending but I by far liked this one more than her other three. Her first one was the best =]

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed reading this book. It was sincerely a pleasant read. It just was. It's one of those realistic books that, although not entirely suspenseful, you can't help but turn the pages quickly wanting to know more and more.
I don't know how the author does it, but Cat Patrick sure knows how to make it seem as if all this is possible. As a reader, you don't find yourself even doubting that this can occur. If Cat Patrick says it, then it must be true. That's all there is to it.
The way the author can weave such a story is beyond me and boy did I like it. Since the protagonist always forgets the past and can only remember the future (what will happen in her and others' futures), throughout most of the book I wondered how it was possible for this girl to continue to love a boy she meets every day. Thankfully Ms. Patrick addresses this issue. Sadly, she does so halfway through the book. That kind of bothered me and I can't get over it. Either way, I'm happy with this read and I recommend it as that was pretty much my only complaint.
Read it. Enjoy it. Love the characters and love the way this book will make you think about your memory and your future.
