Lies My Memory Told Me

Written by Sacha Wunsch

Narrated by Justis Bolding

From the thrilling voice of Sacha Wunsch comes a heart-stopping psychological mystery in a world where memories can be shared—and one girl can’t trust any of them.

Enhanced Memory changed everything. By sharing someone else’s memory, you can experience anything and everything with no risk at all: learn any skill instantly, travel the world from home, and safeguard all your most treasured secrets
forever. Nova’s parents invented this technology, and it’s slowly taking over their lives. Nova doesn’t mind—mostly. She knows Enhanced Memory is a gift.

But Kade says Nova doesn’t know the costs of this technology that’s taken the world by storm. Kade runs a secret vlog cataloging real experiences, is always on the move, and is strangely afraid of Nova—even though she feels more
comfortable with him than she ever has with anyone. Suddenly there are things Nova can’t stop noticing: the way her parents don’t meet her eyes anymore, the questions no one wants her to ask, and the relentless feeling that there’s something she’s forgotten …

Reviews for Lies My Memory Told Me

[whitewavedarling · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Once I got loosely a third of the way into this book, I simply couldn't put it down. Something about the theme of memory and lived experiences alongside the characters Wunsch built here kept me turning pages even when my eyes were too tired to go on and the clock kept ticking later. There's a nuance to the mix of genres here that isn't often seen in young adult work, and it made the story all the more powerful, as well. Whether this might be called a dystopian or a near-future sci-fi or a mystery, it's a clever, careful story of identity and memory, and I ended up adoring it.I do wish the ending had gone slower, and the beginning a bit faster--I admit--but at the same time, that pacing allows a reader to be caught off-guard in so many wonderful ways, there's an art even to those choices in pacing that I can understand.On the whole, I look forward to reading more of Wunsch's work. Recommended.
