My Name Is Memory

by Ann Brashares

Not everyone believes in the existence of 'the one', the love of our life that we are destined to find, but Daniel knows it's real. How could he not? He has spent centuries meeting and falling in love with the same girl over and over and over again. Life after reincarnated life, generation after generation, spanning continents and dynasties, he and Lucy have been drawn together -- and though he can never tell her, he remembers it all. He has the gift, or the curse, of 'the memory', the ability to recall past lives and recognize the reincarnated souls he has known. The problem is, the force that draws Lucy and Daniel together also always tears them painfully, fatally apart, to the point that he has started trying to protect her from falling in love with him and the heartbreak he knows it will bring.

Only giving it 4 because this should be a series with that ending.

This book was a quick read but Ann’s writing style is able to convey deep emotions that keep you on the edge of your seat. Now where’s my sequel?! I NEED MORE LUCY AND DANIEL. 4 stars only because the ending didn’t give me what I needed and there’s nothing to look forward to. I have too many questions.

You have been with me from the very first life. You are my first memory every time, the single thread in all of my lives. It’s you who makes me a person.

Pretty good. This was an interesting concept and the idea of past lives was fleshed out well. I was disappointed in the ending, however. After everything that happened, the last few chapters were too far-fetched and not as believable as the rest of the story. Overall an entertaining read.

Really loved this ending to the series.
