<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Megan Abbott meets Ellen Hopkins in this compelling psychological thriller about a young girl with severe social anxiety disorder, forced to confront her demons when her family is killed in a car accident, but when her world is upended by a mysterious new neighbor, even she isn't sure what's real and what isn't.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A riveting debut psychological thriller about the power memory has over us. Portia Willows was a senior in high school in Los Angeles when her world fell apart. While dealing with the aftermath of the accident that took the lives of her mother and sister, she finds herself forced to face her own memory―which may not be quite what it seems. But Portia suffers from severe social anxiety disorder that prevented her from having any sort of life, while her little sister, Piper, was her best, and only, friend. Now, five years later, Portia is forced to recall the events of the past while being questioned about a horrific crime she doesn't remember. During those years, Portia had created a toxic, agoraphobic, life with her father, cigarettes and alcohol her only companions, unable to cope with her loss. That is, until Ethan Torke moved in across the street and changed Portia's perspective in ways she could not possibly comprehend. But the truth always catches up with you, and fantasies never last. An unforgettable tale of memory, love, and strength through the darkest of times, Remember announces a brave new voice in psychological suspense.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Outstanding Praise for Patricia Smith</b> <br> "Smith's empathy for her characters makes for a supremely relatable take on mental illness.
