**Note: I read this book through the audiobook version, not a hard copy.**

This is the second book by Silvera that I've read, following They Both Die at the End. Both of them have had incredibly compelling worlds in which the story is told - TBDATE has the Death-Cast app, and MHTN has the Leteo Institute.

The difference for me is that the ending didn't feel telegraphed throughout in this one. There were several twists in the third act that I didn't see coming (no spoilers). And some of those twists definitely struck a chord for me. The idea of forgetting what's important to me is a terrifying prospect, and the idea of choosing to do so is potentially even scarier.

As I've noted in another review, I've been racing through a bunch of queer YA novels of late, and the two by Silvera have been far and away my two favorites. They're the least likely to fall into a series of tropes and the most likely to include world-building that makes the entire story feel like an episode of the Twilight Zone, asking questions subtly.

I'm a big fan of Silvera's work and will be on the hunt for the next stories of his to pick up.
