Never Forget.

Memory is Copeland-Stark's business. Yet after months of reconsolidation treatments at their sleek new flagship facility, Hope Nakano still has no idea what happened to her lost year, or the life she was just beginning to build with her one great love. Each procedure surfaces fragmented clues which erode Hope's trust in her own memories, especially the ones of Luke. As inconsistencies mount, her search for answers reveals a much larger secret Copeland-Stark is determined to protect.

But everyone has secrets, including Hope.

      Hope can't remember the year before she came to the Wilder Institute, an elite mental institution. The snippets she can remember, especially about her partner, Luke, don't match the things the doctors say. A new arrival with knowledge of Wilder's business deals offers some answers. Can Hope figure out what's going on and why Wilder wants to hide it at any cost? Debut author Lee offers a promising mystery setup with a middling resolution. Luke narrates his own motivations halfway through, deflating tension about Hope's dedication to someone who institutionalized her. Side characters are one-note and neatly morally aligned with how much Hope likes them. Interesting speculative concepts--brain-computer interfaces, memory hacking, VR that could replace reality--are largely used as plot delivery mechanics. The main narrator, Sunny Lu, offers a solid performance, but some muddled words may have listeners straining to comprehend. Keong Sim and Charlie Thurston deliver their parts as new Wilder arrival Carter and Luke without issue, but their delivery is similar enough to cause confusion. VERDICT Fascinating concept with a lukewarm delivery.--Katherine Sleyko
