Synopsis:

“Featuring a zombie outbreak and a strange sort of doomsday, but really focusing on how coming through those experiences into utopia and freedom effects different people, Forget What You Can’t Remember is an exploration of the human mind under pressure. It’s about relationships, memory, opportunity, and dealing with their loss – and other kinds of loss. Forget What You Can’t Remember is a spin-off novel in the same universe as Lost and Not Found which doesn’t require you to have read that book to understand it.” – Podiobooks.com

Review:

Following in Lost and Not Found‘s footsteps is Forget What You Can’t Remember.  Teel takes one of LaNF’s minor characters and places him in the spotlight, facing a doomsday that he had predicted for years.  The book starts off fast paced with a zombie outbreak, and the eventually doomsday event which changes the world forever…the thing is, most people don’t realize it’s happened.

Forget What You Can’t Remember dives deep into the ethics of a Utopian society, the moral choices of a superhero, and the insecurities that gnaw away at people.  As the book’s events unfold, they have much different effects on the characters in the story.  A Sargent who needs a new purpose and place in a city with no need for war, a woman who discovers a happy ending after doomsday, a superhero who can’t remember his origins, and Paul, who wants to return all the lost memories to those who may or may not want them back.

In my opinon, this books is much better than Lost and Not Found, though both are great books.  I can’t wait to delve into More Lost Memories, which is a collection of short stories that take place during the timeline of FWYCR.
