This book is quite the opposite of the previous book mentioned last week, it touches upon a completely different age group and its story is much more dense and intricate. If you are someone who loved the Twilight Saga and enjoys romance as well as a bit of mystery and magic, this novel is just the right read for you. My Name is Memory is by the same author that wrote The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Ann Brashares. The story is about an average girl, Lucy Broward and a not so average boy, Daniel Grey. This story is about a romance that stands the test of time, countless of times.
This story shows that love is less about the outer appearance and more about whats inside a person, that if you really love a person it can last more than just a lifetime. It shows that if someone is truly meant for someone else, no matter what life they are living they will always be drawn to each other and keep fighting for one another. There are a handful of unhappy endings but the great thing about the two characters, specifically Daniel is that the rough times were never able to hold him down. Their love surpasses everything and knows no boundaries, it stands the true test of time for years to go and come.
I have no intention of giving away the ending but for me that was the biggest issue, I wish I knew more and I definitely wish there was a sequel. One thing is for sure, this story will keep you guessing because you never know where the characters will end up or who they will end up as. The story jumps from continent to continent and it gives you a taste of different parts of the world. It is a great read intended for young adults but I think anyone would like it.
This is not usually the type of book I am interested in, but this one seems quite interesting. I think the name plays a big role. You give just enough in your description to make me want to read it but not too much that I feel like I know the story and am no longer interested.
ReplyDeleteThere have been times when I wanted to throw my book or Kindle because I was really not satisfied by the ending of a book. This is a writer’s goal when you are creating a series but when the series does not come or an author just leaves us guessing I get frustrated. I feel a loss of closure.
