Waiting on Wednesday: The Unhappening of Genesis Lee by Shallee McArthur


Breaking the Spine features a weekly event where we talk about the books we can't wait to read.

Release Date: November 4, 2014
Publisher: Sky Pony Press

Seventeen-year-old Genesis Lee has never forgotten anything. As one of the Mementi—a small group of genetically-enhanced humans—Gena remembers everything with the help of her Link bracelets, which preserve memories perfectly. But Links can be stolen, and six people have already lost their lives to a memory thief, including Gena’s best friend.
Anyone could be next. Which is why Gena is less than pleased to meet a strange but charming boy named Kalan who claims that they’ve not only met, but that Gena knows who the thief is.
The problem is, Gena doesn’t remember Kalan, she doesn’t remember seeing the thief, and she doesn’t know why she’s forgetting things— or how much else she might forget. As growing tensions between Mementi and ordinary humans drive the city of Havendale into chaos, Gena and Kalan team up to search for the thief. And as Gena loses more memories, they realize they have to solve the mystery fast.
Because Gena’s life is unhappening around her.

I am on a hard-core Sci-Fi kick (probably because I write Sci-Fi). This book makes me happy because it has things that I love in it.  Also, the idea of a memory thief is so insidious and creepy.

  3. I'm not one for sci-fi, but stolen memories are something I like. So, maybe I'll give this a shot. =) Great pick!
