Description

What Brynn Caldwell can't remember might get her killed. Brynn is a promising science student recovering from a bad relationship that sent her spiraling into depression. But as she puts the pieces of her life back together, a few don't fit. Brynn is uncovering memories of being abducted and possibly brainwashed. It's all connected to a drug that might be an ultimate weapon: a tool to control people's memories. Now, to stop a possible terrorist attack, Brynn has to find out what she's been forced to forget-and what side she's really on. Homeland meets Mr. Robot in this fast-paced YA thriller. It's all told in the voice of an unreliable narrator who endures betrayals from her boyfriend, her best friend, her parents-and even herself.

Reviews

"Suspenseful, with a relatable but unreliable narrator and a gripping premise." --Booklist
