The cover! These end papers! Those sprayed edges! This book is one of the most BEAUTIFUL books I‘ve ever seen in my life. I‘ve never stolen a book from the library but…. I kid, I kid, but I may have to buy my own copy. So pretty!!!!! 🤩 And I hear there‘s an updated version of The Measure that‘s just as pretty. Might need to add both to my shelves.

I was intrigued by this story because I‘ve had those hardships in life where I imagined some prescription magically erasing any memories of that situation. I liked the full circle experience of her characters because it would have been easy to leave this story hanging where the reader ponders moral dilemma and a where-are-they-now of characters.

I had the pleasure of meeting Nikki Erlick last week. She definitely comes up with interesting concepts for her books. I liked The Poppy Fields.
