The Rewind Effect

By Morgan Lee Miller

There are two types of people: those who want to forget and those who would do anything to remember.

Jamie Kessler wants to remember. After a car accident wipes away most of her memories, she’s left with fragments of a life she no longer recognizes. Confused and overwhelmed, Jamie undergoes an experimental procedure to recapture lost memories. With each recollection, she pieces together a feeling that something—or someone—is clinging to her heart and won’t let go. One name keeps coming up and is impossible to forget, Mallory Ziegler. The woman she met in an AOL chatroom when she was nineteen, the woman she fell madly in love with, and the woman she somehow lost.

The more she digs, the deeper she falls for Mallory and embraces the love that memory never erased. But some memories were buried for a reason, and the pain and betrayal she discovers could completely change the direction of her life.
