Jackie Loves This YA Sci-fi Drama

Lora Mint is determined not to forget.

Lora's mother has been dead for five years, and Lora's memories of her are beginning to fade: the soap scent of her skin, the rhythm of her laugh, and, most important, the details of what happened the night she sped off in her car, never to return.

But after a minor accident damages Lora's memory key—a chip embedded in her brain to ward off Alzheimer's-like Vergets disease—her memories go haywire. Suddenly she has perfect total recall—not just of her mother, but of everything that has ever happened to her.

Lora knows she needs to get her key fixed. Yet she doesn't. Because she is haunted by a long-forgotten moment that suggests her mother's accidental death was no accident.

But Wendy, her best friend, is worried. Can Lora trust her newly vivid memories of her mother's last night? Or is her ability to remember every hurt, every fight, every heartbreak she's ever suffered driving her slowly but surely insane—burying the truth forever?

Jackie says:

"Lora Mint has been mourning her mother for 5 years, trying to hang on to her memories.  Which should be easy, but her Memory Key, a small computer chip that collects and saves memories and saves people from a viral version of Alzheimers, doesn't seem to be working properly.  She's suddenly getting memories that she has forgotten somehow, and all these new memories are giving her horrible headaches.  The search for what has happened inside her leads her to her mother and an conspiracy that will rip her family apart."
