Violet’s romance is right on the instalove/not-instalove border, but it’s probably just as annoying as any other kind of “instant, inexplicable attraction” type situation. However, because Unremembered establishes that Violet has no memories, the fact that she fell in love with him so quickly, previous relationship notwithstanding, makes things a bit more unbelievable. Because Violet and her love interest knew each other/fell in love in her “past life” or whatever, technically they already have a bond. There is a potential case of instalove in the book, though it’s something of a hybrid.

There were a few plot twists that, while not entirely surprising, went a long way toward keeping this story interesting. The book is a very quick read, and even though readers kind of know where everything is headed, there’s still the element of the unknown. However, there was something engrossing in Brody’s delivery. Girl requires strange boy to help her unlock secrets of her past. I admit that, as described above, Unremembered does not have an extremely unique plot. A mysterious boy starts following her around, and we realize her past might be more sinister than otherwise. She has no memory of who she is, where she came from, or how she survived. The story features first-person narrating protagonist Violet, who wakes up at the site of a plane crash as the sole survivor. In light of that, I enjoyed myself very much while reading. The story was unique and kept my attention throughout, and it’s obvious that this is a book by an experienced author, and not at all a sloppy or half-baked debut. Though this is not a perfect novel by any means, Unremembered by Jessica Brody was quick, entertaining, and different-all qualities that made it very worthwhile, in my opinion. But can she really trust him? And will he be able to protect her from the people who have been making her forget? Her only hope is a strangely alluring boy who claims to know her from before the crash. And she’s running out of time to answer them. But with every clue only comes more questions. And no one can explain why her DNA and fingerprints can’t be found in a single database in the world.Ĭrippled by a world she doesn’t know, plagued by abilities she doesn’t understand, and haunted by a looming threat she can’t remember, Seraphina struggles to piece together her forgotten past and discover who she really is. No one knows why she wasn’t on the passenger manifest. She has no memories of her life before the crash.

Which is why the sixteen-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage - alive - is making headlines across the globe.Įven more strange is that her body is miraculously unharmed and she has no memories of boarding the plane. When Freedom Airlines flight 121 went down over the Pacific Ocean, no one ever expected to find survivors.
