Welcome to Litsy!

Flora has anterograde amnesia. She is 17 but hasn't been able to form new memories since the age of 10. She writes down everything she needs to remember — in a notebook, on scraps of paper, on her hands. Then she unexpectedly forms a new memory she can hold on to longer than ever.
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

Bailing pretty early on this one. I usually really love books that deal with memory loss/manipulation, but Flora is a teenager with basically the mind of a 10 year old (when she lost her ability to make memories) and kisses her best friend's super recent ex-boyfriend. It just felt too creepy, plus I just re-watched Memento and with working in health care, I need my reading to be my escape. So bail for now... I'm just not feeling it.

⭐⭐⭐🌠
I have mixed feelings about this novel. It reminded me of 50 first dates, except Drake is a jerk. It started off strong but parts of the story felt disjointed. The twist was not very surprising. I knew there was more to the story than just amnesia. #YAAPRIL @megnews

Loved this book! I can‘t even imagine living her life; forgetting everything from the last 7 years, only being able to hold onto new memories for a couple of hours 😱 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Flora has lost the one thing that keeps her tied to reality. Can you imagine having to relearn where you are and what you‘re doing every two hours?!

Next book goal-marked and ready to start!! #ReadingGoals

Starting the day off with a new book & a cup of tea on the front porch. #livingthedream

An interesting concept, fell flat half way through and got to the point where I just wanted to finish to see what happened to Flora.

Forgot to mention that I started this yesterday.

A charming little YA book about a girl with amnesia trying to explore the world and find her man. Despite its flaws, the disjointed style of "The One Memory of Flora Banks" makes a heartwarming read which I'm scoring 3 stars.

Flora Banks has no short term memory. Her mind resets every couple of hours. But one right she goes to a party and her best friends boyfriend kisses her and she remembers it. Drake the boyfriend leaves and she has to find him because she believes he is her one true love. To me this book was just okay. I felt like the author went over the same things a lot. I realize it because Flora doesn't have her memory but it got old after a while!

#TBRtemptation post 4! How do you know who to trust when you can't even trust yourself? Flora has anterograde amnesia, she can't remember anything day-to-day. One day she kisses someone she shouldn't, and it's the first time she's remembered anything since she was 10. But the boy's gone. She thinks he's moved to the Arctic. Will he be the key to unlocking her memory if she can find him? #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Flora has no short term memory. Her mind resets itself a few times a day since she was 10 years old. To help remind her of things she writes on her arms and in a notebook. Then one night she remembers one new memory.

This story was very repetitive for several chapters because Flora can‘t remember a lot of things. After that the story really picks up and the story starts to unravel. The last half of the book is intense and amazing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have very mixed feelings. On one hand... it deals with a lot of important things (how disabled people are mistreated, how it's important to have your own freedom and how overprotecting someone is bad), but on the other hand, an amnesia narrartive is very repetitive and it's hard to get into at first. But all in all, if you like YA, I'd say definitely pick this book, because it's got a lot of important stuff to say.

⭐️⭐️⭐️
Couldn't decide whether to give it 2 or 3 stars, I just really wasn't sure how I felt about this whole book. I felt like it could have been so much better and I didn't like drake or floras parents.

I enjoyed it. Thought it was really interesting. It almost reminds of another book

My next book that I‘m going to read tonight

Omg! This book is so much better than Everything, Everything. I had so many issues with that story and this is just a better less eyerolling one!

I was concerned I might be annoyed by the repetitiveness but not at all. It's heartbreaking and kind of funny and there's adventure and some sweetness. Flora, her brother and her travels were so wonderful to read about. It really touches on unnecessary medicating, long term PTSD and broken families.

My mother actually has a co-worker whose memory gets reset every ten days as a result of a car crash so the idea of this is just too fascinating to pass up!

Another Goodreads win for me. This books isn't bad, very repeative, because you are reading of a girl of 17 who doesn't remember anything and has to write on her arm or place post it notes everywhere. She eventually goes on a mission by herself to find a guy she calls her boyfriend in the south pole. Not bad but not the greatest read

Great book, with some good twists but was a little slow at points 4/5

How do you know who to trust when you can't even trust yourself...?

Different then the usual books I read but definitely worth it! It allows you to live life just like Flora in the way that we start to understand the issues she faces on a daily basis due to her amnesia.

Go on a journey with Flora to the cold lands and remember...BE BRAVE!!

the text that was just sent to my friends about this book: “this book made me so emotional like... so emotional. i don‘t think i‘ve ever just cried through a whole final quarter of a book before like not since tfios. and this wasn‘t even that kind of emotional i can‘t even describe the kind of emotional this book made me feel but it was gorgeous and it made my heart splinter into like 294394738 pieces.” you will not expect this book. read it.

i‘m back, i‘m reading, i‘m taking a break from the tech world and turning my brain off for the day - just me and flora and eeyore 🎀

I must say it was a very interesting read but it broke my heart when Drake took advantage of Flora. Then to only realize the last eight years of your life you been living a lie. Flora was definitely a brave teen & give her much respect for taking that chance. The book intrigued me due to Flora having amnesia...Just to live a life like Flora is definitely scary & you never know what way your life will turn. BE BRAVE

This book is totally giving me "50 First Dates" vibes and I'm excited to read it.

Time to see if Flora ends up at the North Pole with her so called boyfriend...So today I'll adventure to the North Pole...Going by train first...🚞🚂...Happy Reading...Perfect day to sit out & read away...Maybe sip a little here or there...🍷📚😎...

Love these little book sayings...Trying to get some reading in before I go babysit...Lord knows my little sugar plum will have me all over the house...Happy Reading...💜

Needed a Vacation book! And saw this at Target! Part of their book club pick! #riverreading

Ahhh....What I love to do...😎📚🍷

I listened to The One Memory of Flora Banks and while I found it interesting, I also found it a bit tedious at times. 17 yr old Flora has amnesia and her memory only lasts for a few hours, so every time Flora learns of her condition, we read it too. She can remember before she got sick, but nothing new, until something happens that she can hold onto. Now Flora will do anything to chase that memory and I found myself cheering her on.

This sounds a little bit like 50 First Dates which I loved. I'm excited to read it.

This novel has broken me and I'm still perplexed. I cannot possibly explain it all in this limited amount of characters, so check it out if you're interested: wanderingsofaliterarycolor.blogspot.com/2017/06/deal-or-dud.html

Great book, I love the character of Flora, how she defies the odds and manages great things with her illness. The ending was brilliant never saw it coming. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have SUCH mixed feelings about this book. It's certainly prettily written and the story is interesting, but the plot, characters and many other little things are so utterly frustrating! It follows the sort of a girl with anterograde amnesia which makes her forget most things within a couple of hours - but then she kisses a boy on a beach and suddenly her memory is on the mend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 because I just can't make a decision on my feelings!

If you look critically, this story actually has a plot that isn‘t all that credible and even has a hint of a love triangle. I‘m normally not a big fan of either, but in this case I didn't care thanks to the lovely writing and more importantly: Flora Banks. Flora is basically what makes this story! I love how she is able to overcome her anterograde amnesia and do all the things she does.

5/5 stars

I've just started blogging (again, I've attempted it in the past 🙈) and you should got check out my post at www.everylastwordig.wordpress.com . I don't know if links work on this, but go check it out! 😋

"The universe would laugh at our attempts to organize it, if it could be bothered to notice them." - Flora, p. 178

"The inside of my head is out of control. It is on fire. It is snowing. It is a wild jungle. It is an Arctic wilderness. It is everything that has ever happened and everything that ever will happen, all at once."

Currently reading. Really like the cover, hope it will be an interesting story. 📚📘😍

Was looking for light, so I picked up a YA with a high rating on Litsy. Had a hangover from the wonderful Eleanor Oliphant, so the next book may not have stood a chance anyway. Needed to skim this one, which I hate to do. And DNF is rarely an option for me.

From the inside cover "Her mind resets itself several times a day, and has since the age of ten ,when the tumor that was removed from Flora's brain took with it her ability to make new memories."
