Memento Nora = Yes. More please, and i'm not even done!

 I have finally made it down my reading list to author Angie Smibert's novel, Memento Nora.


Here is the summary, from Angie's website. (see the link above!) 


Nora, the popular girl and happy consumer, witnesses a horrific bombing on a shopping trip with her mother. In Nora’s near-future world, terrorism is so commonplace that she can pop one little white pill to forget and go on like nothing ever happened. However, when Nora makes her first trip to a Therapeutic Forgetting Clinic, she learns what her mother, a frequent forgetter, has been frequently forgetting. Nora secretly spits out the pill and holds on to her memories. The memory of the bombing as well as her mother’s secret and her budding awareness of the world outside her little clique make it increasingly difficult for Nora to cope. She turns to two new friends, each with their own reasons to remember, and together they share their experiences with their classmates through an underground comic. They soon learn, though, they can’t get away with remembering.


So far, I'm loving it. The cover rocks. The author's voice ROCKS. It's dystopian, which I LOVE, the pace of the story is great..it gets right into it, and the unique concept is something i have fallen in love with so fast! I'm only about 40 pages in, you guys, and I am hooked already. I can't wait to read the rest of it.
Do you think you could take a pill to forget? I don't! I love the freaky concept of this world Angie has created. It is all too close to reality...and that is something that I always look for in a Dystopian novel. I want to feel creeped out, like I need to look over my shoulder to make sure Big Brother isn't watching me. 
Memento Nora accomplishes this. So thanks, Angie! Can't wait for the sequel already!


If you haven't picked up this book yet, PLEASE DO! You won't be disappointed...And the book will look HOT on your bookshelf. I'll say it again.
The cover....is...AWESOME.
