When Naomi tries to piece back the fragments of the last three and a half years of her life, she discovers she has a boyfriend she can't remember, her mother and father are divorced, she and her mother have fallen out, and she has a group of friends she's just not sure she likes any more.
Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac is a really enjoyable book and it is written in a way that I didn't expect. Naomi is dealing with the aftermath of amnesia after falling down the stairs and must try to figure out who the people are in her life. Her father is having a difficult time helping her, her best friend Will is trying to make her remember him, and her boyfriend Ace seems to be a bit uncaring to the whole situation. I really liked how each character was laid out before me because I found it really easy to remember them. Naomi changes from the accident and then grows throughout the year. She is intrigued by a boy named James who was with her in the hospital when she woke up. He is a bit of a mystery to her but she feels more comfortable with him than she does with her boyfriend Ace. The book is also split into three parts dealing with how she was before the accident, how she is dealing with no memories, and how everything changes once she does regain her memory. She also has to deal with relearning the fact that her parents are no longer together and her mother has a 3 year old daughter. That must be some of the reason why she cannot remember the past four years of her life. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it to middle schoolers and up.
