This book was incredible! I never give books 5 stars, but I had to with this one. I thought the journal entry style was very well done, and I'm usually a stickler about those. The pacing was great: I never felt too rushed to accept some something or too to care. I wanted to know what would happen next at every page! The main character was well developed, and I definitely felt that I could empathize her, even if she makes some cruel and selfish choices at times. I wish I had read this book sooner!
As as the plot of the story, I think really interesting to ponder on what aspects about the “human condition", as Laverne mentioned, that we take for granted. Memory, community, hope, courage, honesty. I don't know what I would do in a world like that one, but I hope I would make the right choice in the end.
As as the plot of the story,

How would you survive if every memory you had could be erased with a single drop of rain 🌧️? This book is the diary of a woman living in a post apocalyptic world where that's just the case. This leaves you thinking about SO many unanswered questions, but the story was captivating. Honestly would've been a 5 star for me but there was just a touch too much swearing 🤬 for my personal taste.
