198781 Warning: SPOILERS if you have not finished reading!

CHAPTERS 30-44 (The End):

We left off with Mikey barking orders at Logan, telling him to leave Harmony and rejoin civilization in Eden City, and I was feeling all sad because I didn’t want Logan and Callie to separate. And Logan and Callie didn’t want to leave each other either. They kept going back and forth: should they be selfish or selfless? During their debate, Logan decides to return home because he feels that he owes Mikey. After all, Logan was the one who made the ball float on that horrible day five years ago. Logan is the telekinetic, not Mikey. Which means Logan feels extra guilty over the fact that Mikey had to leave civilization. And Callie, there’s really no way she would ask Logan to stay in Harmony. She’s already proved to be selfless by turning herself in to protect Jessa. So back home Logan goes.

But hold the phone! Callie receives a memory from Jessa—a memory that shows Jessa being dragged about and taken by FuMA. My heart squeezed in horror as if I could actually hear Jessa yelling, “Callie! They’ve got me. Come save me. Please, Callie. I need you. I need you. I neeeeeeed yooooooou!” I don’t know why I was surprised with Callie’s decision to return to Eden City after receiving this memory. She’s already proven she would do anything for her sister, and if I found a helpless and scared Jessa hard to resist, Callie definitely wouldn’t be able to ignore her cries for help. Even as I was surprised by Callie’s decision, I was also proud. Callie finally realizes that she is not a killer. That her future is her choice. Her decision. During this epiphany, I was pumping my fist in the air like it was 1985, and I was John Bender. Callie’s fearlessness and desire to conquer fate is admirable.

So now, both Callie and Logan return to Eden City, and when they do, my heart jumps into my throat. For a second there, I thought FuMA really did have them in their grips again, but it was just Potts, the old man who breeds hounds for ComA and who is also an Underground sympathizer. He helps to treat Callie’s ankle, which she twisted on the return trip home. While I could rest easy that Potts wasn’t going to turn in Callie and Logan, his revelation that FuMA suspects Harmony’s existence is cause for concern, IMO. What does this mean for Harmony? Why hasn’t FuMA seeked them out in any capacity yet? This line of questioning quickly slips my mind because HOLY COW!! Logan and Callie seek shelter at Logan’s home, and Callie’s mom is unexpectedly there, and she is revealing some WHOPPER-sized secrets.

Jessa is Callie’s full-blooded sister after all, but her father never came back to conceive Jessa with her mother. He’s missing in another time and space, possibly even dead after all of these years. The reason Jessa exists? Because after receiving her future memory, Callie’s mom decided to try to fight Fate. Her future memory showed FuMA taking both of her seventeen-year-old twin daughters away, but she couldn’t let that happen. So she removed one of her fertilized embryos and stored it for later. And if you’re not catching what I’m throwing, that means that Callie and Jessa were meant to be/are TWINS. What the what!! Six-year-old Jessa and seventeen-year-old Callie are twins?!?! That explains why FuMA wants them. After all, Olivia Dresden told Jessa that her mother and FuMA were looking for twins because they have a special genetic makeup that interests them. Is Jessa the Key? The creator of future memory? That’s what Callie comes to conclude. Callie and Logan plan to rescue Jessa from FuMA, but in order to do so, they need the Undergrounds’ help.

SURPRISE!! William is a sympathizer! He’s the Undergrounds’ contact within FuMA. No wonder he helped Callie to escape in the beginning. As William is leading Callie and Logan through the building, parts of Callie’s future memory start taking shape. She sees room 522 with the golden placard, she sees the broken pot on the floor, and I’m feeling some not so good feelings. Is Fate playing her hand? Can she (Fate) not be stopped? It seems that she cannot. On their way to find Jessa, they witness Sully’s murder. This horrific act absolutely devastated me. Poor Sully. She truly did not deserve to die at the hands of FuMA. Callie didn’t deserve to witness her death, and she especially didn’t deserve to come face to face with the weapon, the needle, she uses to kill her sister in her future memory. Like I said, Callie’s future memory is taking shape, and I fear she cannot fight Fate.

Eventually, Callie and Logan end up running into William’s girlfriend, MK, who is babysitting Olivia Dresden. Callie ends up talking to Olivia and discovering that she is the precog. As much as Olivia came across as a stuck up little girl in Jessa’s memory, I found her quite likable in the end. The reason Jessa has a teddy bear in her room is because Olivia gave it to her in the hopes of being friends, in the hopes of having someone to play with. Ultimately, Olivia is an innocent little girl whose ability is being taken advantage of.

“My mommy says I’m not supposed to talk about it. But I’ve seen you. You’re nice. You try to help me, in the future.”

Heartbroken. That was the feeling I experienced as Olivia said these words to Callie. It’s so sad that Olivia even needs help in the future. The reason she needs help in the first place is because of her own mother turning her back on her for being “mediocre.” How terrible. The future Olivia sees is a future where FuMa is basically trying to create a superhuman race, and it’s a future so bleak that Callie sees but one option to prevent it. She must kill Jessa because Jessa really is the Key.

PSYCH! Turns out Callie tricked us all. She doesn’t kill Jessa. She plunges the needle into her own heart, and Logan is there telling her to stop and not do it, and I’m DYING. Because WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED!!!?!?! Is Callie dead?! Turns out that you can fight Fate. Thank the higher powers that be! I am so happy book two, Remember Yesterday, is now available because that cliffhanger is ABSOULTELY INSANE.

FAVORITE QUOTES:

And now, we’re nothing. Two people who could’ve meant something to each other, in another world, in another time.
(page 232)

The feather of a bird floats by on the wind, and I grab it from the air. The feather is ripped, torn in fluffs that drift away, trying to resurrect itself into something new. Trying to carve an alternate path out of its dead-end flight. Trying to break free of the life dictated by Fate.
(page 242)

Maybe we would have been better off if those memories had never been sent. Maybe we could learn to breathe again if we could only forget tomorrow. (page 253)

“We’ll figure it out. If I have to, I’ll make the trip to the meeting point every few days to leave messages for the Underground. I’ll return to Harmony, give you a kiss, and go right back again, if that’s what it takes.” […] “That’s how important you are. It took you walking away to fully understand what my future self was trying to say. I love you, Callie. I think I was always meant to love you. My future memory hasn’t come true yet, and I want it to. I want you by my side for the rest of my life.”
(page 292)

A vision. No, slivers of visions, snapshots of memories, tumbling one after the other, faster and faster, pressing my mind, making me remember.
A young girl with a purple dog. My arm whipping through the air. The brush of a boy’s lips. A tattered feather floating in the air.
(page 336)


QUESTIONS:

1. Were you surprised to learn that Logan is the telekinetic and the one who made the ball float in the air five years ago? Did it make you feel differently about his choice to stay silent when they took Mikey away?

2. Before she leaves Harmony, Callie has a conversation with Laurel. Laurel is frustrated by Zed and the hold he lets his future memory have over him. “What kind of life do you have if you’re afraid of your memory at every turn? That’s no life at all.” (pg. 243) Do you think there is any hope for a future where Zed and Laurel can be together?

3. Pretend you don’t know the outcome of this story. If your younger sibling sent you a memory that features them crying out for help, much in the same way as Jessa, would you make the choice to return and try to help them (like Callie did), even it’s highly possible that you’re the biggest threat to them?

4. Potts, the old man who breeds ComA hounds says that FuMA and TechRA know about (or at least suspect) Harmony’s existence. Even though Logan says Harmony is prepared to move locations, what do you think FuMA’s suspicion means for Harmony? Why hasn’t FuMA “obliterated” them so to speak?

5. Many years ago, Callie’s father transported his body to a different time and place in the name of research. It’s mentioned that it’s very possible that he is no longer alive after all this time, but what do you think? Will see Callie and Jessa’s father in book two? If you believe him to be alive, why do you think he hasn’t been able to return all these years?

6. Did you have any idea that Callie and Jessa were twins? What did you think about this gigantic twist?

7. We know Olivia is locked up in the future for being considered “mediocre.” But she mentions that Callie helps her in the future. How do you think Callie helps Olivia her?

8. What happened when Callie plunged the needle into her own heart? Do you think she actually prevented future memory from being created? I know she probably thinks removing one twin from the situation will be enough, but is it? Did Callie change the future to a better future? And is she still alive??

CHAPTER 15 - CHAPTER 29:

Let me preface this discussion by saying that I think I’ve turned into a puddle of goo, as chapters 15-29 kept me in a never ending state of SWOON. Logan and Callie forever!! #IShipIt

Anyway, last week, we stopped reading just as Logan was helping Callie escape the claws of FuMA. Of course, their escape was successful—at least to an extent. Logan leaving civilization was never really a part of the plan, but considering Callie’s inability to swim, the growing connection between Logan and Callie, and Logan’s desire to see his brother who Callie previously believed had been taken away, it’s no surprise that he decides to flee with Callie. Callie weakly protests Logan accompanying her to Harmony, but he reminds Callie of the notion of free will.

Ultimately, these chapters are low on action, and instead, the focus is very much on the growing, slow-burn romance between Logan and Callie with a few revelations thrown in. First, Logan reveals why he stopped talking to Callie five years ago, and I’ll admit a part of me was like “Bro, seriously? Are you for real?” But mostly, I understood his reasoning. Grief, especially when it comes to the loss of a sibling, makes people do funny things. With past hurts out in the open, it’s easier for Callie and Logan to move forward in their relationship. This leads us to revelation number two: Logan explains to Callie who the Underground are and what Harmony is.

It’s not long before my heart goes into shock. What the heck? Logan’s brother is still alive, and he’s practically the mayor of Harmony! Mikey’s reception of Logan and Callie is slightly off-putting. On the one hand, he’s happy to see his brother and even teases Logan about Callie being the girl he couldn’t shut up about five years ago (SO CUTE). On the other hand, he’s angry that Logan has put the people of Harmony in jeopardy, and he blames Callie for that (even if it’s not her fault). This interaction has my head spinning.

Say hello to revelations four and five…It’s revealed that Logan and Mikey both have psychic abilities, which allow them to communicate, which in turn allows Logan to gather and deliver resources to Harmony. Hence, Mikey’s objection to Logan being there. Who can they rely on to deliver necessities now? It’s also revealed that Logan’s future memory includes Callie. **squeals in a non-pig-like fashion** This revelation is followed by a perfectly sweet first kiss, and I’m giddy over it.

Now, there are no secrets between these lovebirds, which brings us to revelation number six. Callie tells Logan about her and Jessa’s psychic abilities, and he determines that they have the same psychic connection as him and Mikey—they’re senders and receivers. Jessa is sending Callie memories, which allows Callie to determine how close in time they are to her future memory. This psychic ability leads me to come to the same conclusion as last week. Callie and Jessa’s bond is truly unbreakable. At least, I hope so. The vision Callie has of Chairwoman Dresden requesting to screen the children has me a wee bit nervous. Especially with the knowledge of what “The Key” may represent.

At one point, Jessa unknowingly sends Callie a memory, a memory in which she overhears Dresden's conversation with her teacher. Dresden wants to screen children for psychic abilities because a precognitive told them that the key to inventing future memory lies in a child with psychic abilities. So once Callie does some digging into the Harmony "archives," she presents a theory, which is that FuMA and TechRA (two entities that should exist separately) are working together because they haven't actually figured out how to send memories to their past selves yet. So FuMA has lied to them all these years when they said that they would instruct them how to send a memory to their past self when the time came. They won't instruct them because they can't. So in short, the Key is the person who figures out how to send memories back in time and the First Incident is the actual sending/receiving of the first future memory.

There is another slight revelation that has to do with Callie’s father. In the previous chapters, Callie had me convinced that her father was also Jessa’s father. But now it appears that this idea is only wishful thinking on her part. After all, her mother straight-up said that Jessa has a different father, so they’re half-sisters. This insight bums me out, so when Mikey drops the bomb that he’s forcing Logan back to Eden City, it didn’t take much to push emotions over the edge. I’m internally screaming, “NO! You can’t do that! Logan and Callie forever!!” Oh man, what a way to end this week’s reading! Cliffhangers are not my friends. *sighs*

FAVORITE QUOTES:

“You’ve never been just a girl to me, Calla Lily.”
(page 123)

“My memory doesn’t take away my free will, Callie. I still get to make my own decisions. And right now, my decision is to go to Harmony. With you.”
(page 128)

“How can you judge someone’s future actions without understanding the circumstances?”
(page 139)

“Half of us are here to escape our futures, Callie. We can’t dwell on what might happen tomorrow, so we focus on the day-to-day. That’s all we have.”
(page 173)


Note: I really love the repetition of “Open. What is open?” Pintip Dunn can take something that is literally so disgusting (IMO), and make is sound beautiful.

“Open. What is Open? The hole at the top of Mikey’s hut. The carcass of the deer, split open at the ribs. The hollowed-out center of the log we’re sitting on. Open, open, open.”
(page 181)

He looks up, and my pulse leaps in recognition. On his face is an expression that is not quite faith. Faith itself is too scary, too unattainable. Optimism is reserved for the good people, the ones who go through their lives without harming anyone. But Zed’s expression is something approaching faith, something that might eventually become faith if circumstances allowed it.
(page 203)


QUESTIONS:

These questions are only guidelines, feel free to pose your own and discuss other aspects of the chapters.

1. We already know that FuMA and TechRA force individuals to complete their future memory. (i.e. Beks) But Logan seems to firmly believe in free will and the fact that he can make his own choices. Do you believe that there is such a thing as free will in this world? Or is Logan just being naïve and will his words come back to bite him in the butt? (We sort of discussed this last week, but I’m curious to see if your thoughts have changed.)

2. How do you feel about Logan and Callie’s growing romance?

3. ZOMG. Mikey is alive! Were you shocked by this revelation? Explain. And what was your first impression of Mikey?

4. When you found out why Mikey was so upset over seeing Logan in Harmony, did your feelings toward Logan’s decision to accompany Callie change? If so, how?

5. Logan’s future memory features Callie. From my understanding, they’re together (as a couple) in the future. She is supporting Logan at a swim meet, and he experiences this overwhelming feeling of belonging, of being accepted. What I want to know is, how is Logan’s memory possible when Callie’s future memory clearly paints her as a criminal? If she’s a criminal, how is she out and about in society in Logan’s future? Does this mean that there is hope that Callie can fight her future memory?

6A. Angela, Mikey’s significant other, recognizes Callie’s mother’s name and associates her with the Underground, but Callie has no knowledge of her mother having anything to do with the Underground. What do you think? Is Callie’s mother keeping secrets from her?

6B. Callie seems certain that Jessa has a different father than her, but is it really so hard to believe Callie’s initial statement that her father came back at some point in time? If her mother is withholding information about the Underground, why shouldn’t we think that she’s lying to Callie about who Jessa’s father is? What do you think? Do Callie and Jessa share the same father?

7. How do you feel about the revelation that Jessa is a sender and Callie is a receiver? Aside from the fact that it allows Callie to keep track of time, how do you think this ability will help save Jessa? Or do you not think it will help at all?

8. After an unsuccessful attempt to request necessities from Logan and Mikey’s mother, Mikey decides he’s sending Logan back to Eden City. He doesn’t want to risk the health and survival of his people more than he already has. What do you think this means for Callie and Logan moving forward? What do you predict will happen next?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

198781 Great distinction between not forgetting and remembering, Melissa! I'll admit that I didn't quite see a difference at first, but they way you see it, passive vs. active, makes perfect sense.

Lynndell, yes! Callie's ability to manipulate her memory was a surprise for me, too. It's a very cool ability, and it will be interesting to see if she has need to use it in the future. Also, the novella from Logan's POV is coming out at the end of October, and I am so super stoked!

Brenda, Pintip's writing is beautiful! There is an instance of beautifully crafted repetition that I'm looking forward to discussing during the next section's discussion!

I agree with you Shawna and Lynndell. I think it is possible to fight fate and change one's future. FuMA is definitely fearful of losing control, which is exactly what I think would happen if people found out they were lying. I mean look at what they did to poor Beks! It was awful.

QUESTION:

Now, I'm dying to know!! Does anyone have any thoughts on the bear in MK's backpack? Thoughts on how it's the same bear in Callie's memory?

They definitely seem unsure! Heck, I'm unsure of their feelings! I feel like they're crushing on each other, but Logan has so much mystery surrounding him at this point...I think we'll have to wait and see if his true thoughts and feelings are revealed. And yes! I think they'll escape, too, but I'm wondering what Logan's plan is. Where is he taking her? I mean, he has to have a plan after going through the trouble of breaking Callie out, right? So many questions at this point!

Ahh bummer!! But we would definitely love to have you at our next read-a-long. (: And I definitely recommend reading Forget Tomorrow when you have a chance!
Sep 23, 2016 06:01AM

198781 *cue happy dance*

It's time to kick off our read-a-long of Forget Tomorrow!

First, I'm going to give you a mini play-by-play of the thoughts and feelings I experienced as I read chapters 1 through 14, and then I will pose some questions for all of you to discuss.

Please keep in mind, there will be spoilers for the chapters we are currently discussing, but if you've read ahead, please do not share any details for those who are reading the book for the first time and those that are sticking to the schedule we’ve put forth. I know it will be hard to reign in your excitement (*wink wink*), but please try! Thank you!

CHAPTER 1 - CHAPTER 14:

As we begin Forget Tomorrow, we are immediately immersed into Callie’s world. We’re experiencing everything through her eyes and her mind, which means that our first experience is of great joy. The joy Callie feels as she soaks in the sun and as she watches her younger sister, Jessa, exercise her abilities through a game, is a joy felt with every written word. It’s clear that their bond as sisters is strong, unbreakable even, and I feel this bond will play a major role in this story.

As quickly as we feel Callie’s joy, we also experience her nervousness. She’s one day away from turning seventeen, and in this world, one’s seventeenth birthday is the most significant day in one’s life—as it’s the day your fate is sealed by a memory your future self sends to you. These future memories are supposed to eliminate doubt and put you on a path where you’ll never feel lost again, but I get the sense that we’re supposed to question this idea—especially when Logan, Callie’s classmate, enters the picture and tells Callie “It wasn’t like we were taught, Callie.” At this point, it’s all very ominous, and I’m eager to learn what the mysterious Logan has learned.

Callie hopes her memory will show her as a manual chef (a.k.a. the type of chef that exists in our reality), but what she sees is far from what she hopes and expects. I don’t know about you, but I totally got the chills when Callie and Jessa were talking at the end of chapter one.

“Promise me you won’t leave. Promise me you’ll stay forever.”
“I promise.” It’s a lie, but a small one, so white it’s practically translucent. I can’t be concerned. This is it. The moment I’ve been waiting for all my life.
Tomorrow, everything changes. (pg. 18)


Cue the Jaws music! I’m scared for Callie, and it turns out, my fear is warranted. Callie’s future memory shows her murdering her little sister, Jessa. *GASP*No, no, no. The unbreakable bond between these sisters can’t possibly take this turn. Not now not ever. So what the heck happens in the future? That’s what Callie and I, as a reader, want to know.

But Callie doesn’t have time to ask questions. She must run before the authorities catch her and lock her away. As she’s running, the mysterious Logan pops up, and I’m left wondering, what’s with this guy? I feel he’s holding back, but I’m not quite sure what secret he’s keeping. Can Callie really trust the boy she’s barely spoken to in five years? I have no idea, but I want to find out. Which is why I was super frustrated by Callie’s decision to turn herself in. Girl, why?! Let this old crush help you. I mean, I guess there is no doubt that she is brave and strong. Brave for turning herself in. Brave for sticking it to Scar Face. Strong for keeping her memory from doctor through pure will (and also some memory manipulation). Dr. Bellows is simply a disgusting human being, IMO. And Dresden, the leader? She’s doesn’t even fit anywhere on my internal “awful human being meter.”

When Sully alerts Callie as to FuMA’s true goal, I’m pretty sure my mouth dropped open and stayed that way for a good, hot minute. The goal is not to prevent bad future memories but to fulfill them? WHAT. A bunch of psychos is what they are. Thank goodness Logan Russell comes to the rescue!! I’m less wary and really starting to like him at this point. He’s definitely a swoon-worthy dude.

“I wouldn’t mind if you came on to me.” (pg. 113)

I mean, hello!! Someone blow some cool air towards me because I’m blushing over how cute these two are. (Don’t get me started on the flashbacks with the leaves. STOP. So cute!) Honestly, though. This giddy feeling quickly leaves as my heart is breaking for Sully. I just want to hug this poor girl. But I get it. FuMa’s technology is preventing them from saving Sully, too. The stupid bullies. They have no choice but to leave her behind and crawl through a wall that ISN’T REALLY THERE. Where is Logan taking Callie? To this so-called Underground place he keeps mentioning? How is it possible for Logan to rescue Callie in the first place? And beyond that, why did he risk himself in order to rescue her?

FAVORITE QUOTES:

“I squeeze my eyes shut. I have to be brave. But I’m not brave. Not really. I’m not anything. I’m just a girl. Only a girl. Nothing but a girl.
No, that’s not true. I’m a girl who will kill my sister in the future.”
(pg. 63)

“If I had someone like you in my life, I would never leave to begin with,” he says, his voice steady and sure.
(pg. 74)

“Even as I watch, a couple of girls approach Sully and count the marks on her arms. They don’t speak to her, and she doesn’t acknowledge them in any way.
I think suddenly of the tree that grows in the middle of our school lobby. Students cover the bark with their initials and drawings—the only place in school where graffiti is tolerated. The only place it’s even possible. Everything else is metal and plastic.
Living things, it seems, are easier to disfigure.”
(pg. 84)

“For the first time, I see her slashing cheekbones, the perfect heart-shaped mouth. The mouth that’s currently trembling, although her eyes are as steady as ever.
I gape. How many times did I look into her expressionless eyes and assume she had no feelings? That entire time, her mouth would have given her away, if only I had seen it.”
(pg. 96)


QUESTIONS:

These questions are only guidelines, feel free to pose your own and discuss other aspects of the chapters.

1. It’s mentioned numerous times that a future memory is more than a predictor, it is a guarantee. It’s a fate you cannot fight (as evidenced by the parable of a man who saved his wife from drowning, only to have her fall down a flight of stairs and die the next day). But what do YOU think of this concept? Is the future memory something one can fight? Something that one can change?

2. Logan is barely present in this first chunk of Forget Tomorrow, and from what Callie says, her and Logan have not spoken to each other in five years. What do you make of the first few interactions between Logan and Callie? Or in other words, what is your first impression of Logan?

3. After Callie initially escapes, she makes the decision to turn herself in because she believes it is the best way for her to ensure Jessa’s protection. Do you agree with Callie’s choice to turn herself in? What was your reaction to her choice?

4. Can you speculate as to why William helped Callie—not only once, but twice? Why Callie? I can’t imagine that Callie is the first “criminal” he’s performed the memory retrieval procedure with.

5. What do you think it means for both Callie and Jessa, that Callie’s memory shows Jessa being held in the science building—the building in which Callie is held in limbo?

6. Observe the following conversation between Callie and her father:

“We’re surrounded by the most advanced technology civilization has to offer. But the best inventions don’t have to be complex.” He spreads his palm over his chest. “They come from right here. The heart.”
“Is that why you wear the pencil? So you don’t forget?”
“No.” My father’s almost-shaped eyes flash. “I wear it so I remember.”
I was too young, then, to understand what the difference might be. And by the time I was old enough to ask, he was long gone.
(pg. 66)


What do you think Callie’s father’s comment means? What do you see as the difference between not forgetting and remembering?

7. This is sort of a follow-up to question six, but based on what we know so far (based on Callie’s beliefs about Jessa’s father and Bellows’ comments to Callie), what do you think happened to Callie’s father?

8. Why is it that Beks points to Callie as the guards are hauling her away? What is it that she sees in Callie, that makes her think Callie is the one who can “make them stop”? What do you see in Callie?

9. MK, William’s girlfriend, and Dresden’s assistant, has a teddy bear in her backpack. The same teddy bear from Callie’s future memory. What do you believe is the significance of this? Is the bear really even there or is it a hallucination?

10. And finally, what do you think is next for Callie and Logan? Will they successfully escape FuMA?
