Ella Shepherd has dedicated her life to using her unique gift - the ability to enter people's dreams and memories using technology developed by her mother - to help others relive their happy memories.

But not all is at it seems.

Ella starts seeing impossible things - images of her dead father, warnings of who she cannot trust. Her government recruits her to spy on a rebel group, using her ability to experience the memories of traitors. But the leader of the rebels claims they used to be in love - even though Ella's never met him before in her life. Which can only mean one thing...

Someone's altered her memory.


I wasn't sure what to think of this book at first, as it seemed to take awhile to find its groove, but once it did it really took off, and I couldn't put it down. It's not quite as good as her "Across the Universe" trilogy, and I did think there were some questions left unanswered - or where the answers given weren't satisfying - but as a whole, I thought it worked.
