Description

In a near-future world where identity can be rewritten and memories can be traded, a young woman discovers that the life she’s been living may be nothing more than a carefully constructed story. As she uncovers the truth behind her past, she’s pulled into a high-stakes struggle over who gets to control memory—and what it means to be truly known. Blending suspense with emotional depth, the novel explores themes of agency, authenticity, and the fragile line between survival and selfhood. With Traci Chee’s sharp pacing and vivid, character-driven storytelling, this is a gripping read that turns the act of “reading” into a metaphor for power, truth, and belonging.
