Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac

MEMOIRS OF A TEENAGE AMNESIAC: Gabrielle Zevin: Young Adult: 271 pages

After falling down the school steps, Naomi awakes without any memory of the previous four years, including her parents divorce, the birth of her sister, or her relationship with her boyfriend.

The premise for this story is intriguing. As she attempts to make sense of her current situation, Naomi provides a fascinating, outsider perspective on her own life. This would be a good book club discussion book, because it explores decision-making and the evolution of individuals and relationships in such a unique way.
