About the Book
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meets Past Lives in this gripping, emotional story of two childhood friends navigating the fallout of one erasing their memory of the other, from acclaimed author Sarah Suk.
Seventeen-year-old Yena Bae is spending the summer in Busan, South Korea, working at her mom’s memory-erasing clinic. She feels lost and disconnected from people, something she’s felt ever since her best friend, Lucas, moved away four years ago without a word, leaving her in limbo.
Eighteen-year-old Lucas Pak is also in Busan for the summer, visiting his grandpa, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. But he isn’t just here for a regular visit—he’s determined to get his beloved grandpa into the new study running at the clinic, a trial program seeking to restore lost memories.
When Yena runs into Lucas again, she’s shocked to see him and even more shocked to discover that he doesn’t remember a thing about her. He’s completely erased her from his memories, and she has no idea why.
As the two reconnect, they unravel the mystery and heartache of what happened between them all those years ago—and must now reckon with whether they can forge a new beginning together.
She remembers everything. He remembers nothing.
- Second Chance Romance: He erased their entire history, but fate brings Lucas and Yena back together. Can they rebuild what was lost, or will the truth of why he forgot her tear them apart for good?
- Best Friends to Strangers: They were inseparable, sharing secrets and dreams. Now, Yena has to face the boy who was her everything but treats her like he’s never seen her before.
- Amnesia Romance: Yena works at a memory-erasing clinic, but she never imagined she’d be the one erased. She must unravel the mystery behind Lucas’s choice without revealing the secret that could break him.
- Summer in South Korea: Set against the vibrant backdrop of Busan, this K-drama inspired love story explores the heartache of what-ifs and the hope of a new beginning.
