Remember Me Always

Gr 8 Up—Aspiring actress Shelby hasn't had a typical summer vacation. In the months before her senior year of high school, she undergoes a secret procedure to have part of her memory erased after a traumatizing car accident that left her with unbearable panic attacks and anxiety. But when flickers of a memory featuring a mysterious and handsome boy at a moonlit lake appear during one of her treatment sessions, she knows something's not right. Her uneasiness only grows when that boy shows up at her school play audition and seems to know everything about her. Auden causes her to question everything—her sanity, the trust she puts in her mother, her future in her small Colorado town, and even Auden himself. This first-person narrative will satisfy readers craving indulgent, star-crossed romance with a side of coming-of-age angst. Auden and Shelby's electric chemistry is heightened by the mystery of Shelby's true past that will keep teens guessing until the satisfying end.
