The story begins by introducing us to two different characters. Barry is a NYPD cop who is having a bad time coping with life since his daughter, Meghan, passed away. The memories of her haunt him. The other character is Helena, a neuroscientist from Stanford who specializes in studying memory. She has spent her entire professional career wanting to help people with memory problems. She wants to map the human brain but due to research funding her progress has been slow-going. Now her mother has Alzheimer's which gives her all the more reason to speed up the research. Her story starts in 2007 while Barry's is in 2018.

Very good start to the book which had me hooked right away. I loved both of the characters a lot. The technology became a little confusing for me at times but because of the characters I wanted to keep reading. I thought the ending was pretty good. As I got towards the end I was beginning to wonder how it was ever going to conclude and I was thinking "this better not be a stupid ending." I was not disappointed. I'm giving this one 4 🌠🌠🌠🌠 and I hope to read more books by Blake Crouch.
