Forget Tomorrow (Forget Tomorrow, #1)

by Pintip Dunn

In a futuristic world the entire society is built around memories being sent back from the future. On their 17th birthday everyone will receive a memory that will help sculpt who they will be in the future. When Callie receives her memory, it isn't one of her changing the world. Callie is gifted with the vision of her murdering her younger sister, Jessamine. Arrested for a crime she has yet to commit Callie finds herself brutalized and held in the hell that is known as Limbo, a place where they keep people whose vision shows them breaking the law. While being held, Callie is tested on and finds out that the government are holding, torturing, and then making these people live out their vision. Once they are forced to commit their crime they are killed. This is the fate in store for Callie, but it's so much worse, because if the government finds out that Jessamine is gifted, they'll take her and do tests on her. Callie is saved from her fate though by Tony, a boy she knew years before. Tony helps break her out of prison and takes her to a camp of outsiders who have each run from civilization and the future memory they were given.
But running doesn't change the future and Jessamine is still taken and tested on by the government which sets off the motion of Callie returning to the city, but will Callie save her little sister or be forced to complete her memory of the future and kill her?

Forget Tomorrow is definitely on my top Sci-Fi YA list. I really loved this book and the direction it takes Science.

We are living in the future but the it’s not so drastically different that it’s not doable. There are no strange creatures roaming about that they have to stay inside protective walls. A large majority of people are actually living content lives. It’s those who realize the price of future memories and having special abilities that have their eyes open to what is going on. Callie keeps her head down because she doesn’t want to draw attention to herself, which would then draw attention to her sister Jessa. Callie has seen what can happen when she witnessed Logan’s brother being taken away. When Callie receives her unexpected memory it puts into motion a chain of events that makes her realize she is a lot more connected then she realizes.

I love how much Callie follows her own heart. So many books have me frustrated with the main character when they do the, I have to ignore my feelings for you to protect you. Callie, even though she has those thoughts in her head, also knows how to embrace the moment. How to love openly and trust that she can find a way to protect someone by doing that. Which includes her sister. She fights until she is out of options, it doesn’t matter if it seems hopeless to begin with. She exhaust every other option first.

Logan, oh sweet Logan. How can you not love him, I definitely love him. He is so adorable with the admiration of Callie he has. He cares about her and doesn’t really hid it. I love it, I love him. He has some guilt about his brother and tries his best to repent. He also can’t control how he feels though and it’s so great.

One thing I love is the unpredictableness of the ending. It could go at least three ways that I could think of but you don’t really know how it’s going to turn out. Well let me tell you, I can’t talk about it because you need to read. I definitely need the next book now though.

There are so many things to love in this book but it’s one of those that I don’t want to spoil so I’m not going to delve into too many things. If you like Sci-fi, read it. If you like it romance, read it. If you like a good book, read it.
