memoirs of a teenage amnesiac a novel gabrielle zevin

Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year. After her remarkable debut, Gabrielle Zevin has crafted an imaginative second novel all about love and second chances. She wouldn't have wanted to kiss him back. She never would have met James, the boy with the questionable past and the even fuzzier future, who tells her he once wanted to kiss her. She wouldn't have to spend her junior year relearning all the French she supposedly knew already.

She'd get all his inside jokes, and maybe he wouldn't be so frustrated with her for forgetting things she can't possibly remember. She would understand why her best friend, Will, keeps calling her Chief. She might even have remembered why she fell in love with him in the first place. She certainly would have remembered her boyfriend, Ace. She wouldn't have woken up in an ambulance with amnesia. She wouldn't have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn't have hit her head on the steps. If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss.
