The Book of Lost Hours by Hayley Gelfuso

 

The Book of Lost Hours by Hayley Gelfuso

I didn't know what to expect with this book. I think I saw it as a new release in my local bookstore's newsletter so I put it on hold at the library based on the idea of a "memory library" alone. I do love time travel and parallel universes, so even though it took me a while to get to this one, I'm so glad I did.

It was really interesting, the idea of memories stored in a library, plus who would want to destroy them and why. And, since it dealt with some WWII history, it seemed especially relevant today, unfortunately. I love how everything twisted together. 

The ending was a bit too pure for me because I think there should have been a bit more disruption based on everything that came before, but it didn’t ruin it. I almost wonder if the author is leaving it open for a sequel because, with Amelia's knowledge, I don't really see how things can ever be "normal" for her, and I'm curious to see how she'd fare in the future.
