Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life, crossing continents and dynasties, he and Sophia (despite her changing name and form) have been drawn together-and he remembers it all. For all the times that he and Sophia have been connected throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart.
But just when Sophia (now "Lucy" in the present) finally awakens to the secret of their shared past, the mysterious force that has always separated them reappears. Ultimately, they must come to understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together.
Interwoven through Sophia and Daniel's unfolding present day relationship are glimpses of their expansive history together. From 552 Asia Minor to 1918 England and 1972 Virginia, the two souls share a long and sometimes torturous path of seeking each other time and time again. But just when young Sophia (now "Lucy" in the present) finally begins to awaken to the secret of their shared past, to understand the true reason for the strength of their attraction, the mysterious force that has always torn them apart reappears. Ultimately, they must come to understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together.
Okay I read this absolutely ages ago and now I remembered that I need to review it!
I'll be completely honest and say that for the most part of this book I didnt really like it. Its one of those books that you dont like it when you read it but then you think about it you realise you do like it.
The first thing that attracted me to this book was the cover. At first I thought it had something to do with The Replacement by Brenna Yovannof or Fallen by Lauren Kate(beacause I couldnt see the name). It does remind me of Fallen for two reasons the main characters in Fallen are Daniel and Luce (Lucinda). The main characters in My name is Memory is Daniel and Lucy.... Well thats why when I read the back I thought it would be a Fallen copy.
Well my name is memory is a new twist on the 'falling in love over centuries' thing. I love how their relationships in the past haven't worked out. It makes them more relatable to the reader. Its also makes it even more different from Fallen as Daniel and Luce's relationship have worked until Luce...um well you have to read them.
I love the story line that carries on throughout the book. It was rather addicitive and made me want to keep reading!
I really like this book and I do not regret buying it!
Yes this definitely reminds me of the Fallen series which I do like very much. Not only with the same theme of falling in love but also with the names. I do wish the names were different or just something because this book will be compared to Fallen. I love the whole reincarnation long lost love you always find in the next life so I will definitely be reading this one. I do hope that Sophia is a stronger character than Luce from Fallen and I also hope Daniel is just as swoon worthy. I really don't like comparing books so I can't wait to read this and find out what makes it so good.
