Gabrielle Zevin writes a heartfelt, relatable story that captures Naomi Porter's life after a head trauma. She loses 5 years of memories and only vaguely remembers her childhood. The struggles she must cope with are similar to those high school students experience every day. Projects, grades, clubs, and relationships are all part of the story. Due to her amnesia, she tries to start over despite her complicated past.
