The Memory Illusion: Remembering, Forgetting, and the Science of False Memory by Julia Shaw

4.0

I started reading this book over 3.5 years ago, but wavered in my attention (not because it wasn't interesting, but I'm simply more of a fiction girl). I finally read it from the start and pleased I did. It's a fascinating read that made me feel disconcerted and reassured all in one. We can't trust our memory is the key takeaway. But don't take my word for it, I may have remembered the book incorrectly...
If you're interested in psychology, sociology, or simply how the memory works, this will be a good book to read. There were parts I didn't find too interesting, or that simply went on too long, but overall it was well-paced and held my attention.
