4/5
In the world of Forget Tomorrow, everyone is sent a memory from their future self when they turn seventeen. The memory Callie receives is of her killing her beloved younger sister. The rest of the novel is of Callie going on the run, trying to avoid her fate, and unravel the mystery and science behind sending memories.
Forget Tomorrow has a quick pace, an urgent tone, and high stakes. I enjoyed Callie's character development and her strength. A nice touch Dunn adds into the novel is the opportunity to learn about Callie through what others think of her. Callie doesn't see herself as "defiant" or "aggressive," but seeing how others interpret her actions shed some light on why she might be called such.
Forget Tomorrow has a thought-provoking premise and executes it with suspense and intensity. I was engaged throughout the entire novel and am curious to what will happen in the next. I'd recommend it to fans of dystopian novels like The Giver or a less-violent Hunger Games, or fans of All Our Yesterdays, a similar novel by Cristin Terrill that I would also recommend.
