"Cintai siapa pun yang kau cintai selagi kau memilikinya. Hanya itu yang bisa kau lakukan. Biarkan mereka pergi saat kau harus melakukannya. Jika kau tahu bagaimana mencintai, kau tidak akan pernah kehabisan." "Cinta menuntut segalanya, kata mereka, tetapi cintaku hanya menuntut ini: bahwa apa pun yang terjadi atau berapa lama pun waktunya, kau akan tetap percaya padaku, kau akan mengingat siapa kita, dan kau tidak akan pernah merasa putus asa." "Kau telah bersamaku...

Ya ampun, aku sangat berharap ini adalah bagian dari sebuah seri karena aku benar-benar jatuh cinta dengan buku ini sampai akhir. Dan bagian akhirnya sungguh membuatku kesal sampai aku benar-benar melempar bukunya. Aku tidak pernah melakukan itu. Aku cinta buku. Aku cinta cerita yang hebat. Dan aku mencintai cerita ini -- ini adalah pandangan yang unik tentang bagaimana sebuah hubungan berfungsi. Karakter utama: Daniel, seorang pria yang dapat mengingat kehidupan masa lalunya. Jatuh cinta dengan...

Malam ini, pertama kalinya aku melempar buku. Memang, aku pernah tergoda untuk melempar sesuatu ke seberang ruangan sebelumnya, tetapi tidak pernah benar-benar melakukannya sampai sekarang.Mungkin buku itu tidak sampai melayang jauh ke seberang ruangan, tetapi terdorong dari pangkuanku dengan sedikit kegeraman. Kenapa, tanyamu? Karena tidak seharusnya sebuah buku memiliki akhir seperti yang baru saja kualami.Seharusnya, "Namaku adalah Kenangan" adalah buku bintang 5. Ditulis dengan indah, dan ak...

Brashares mengambil ide yang fantastis dan menarik, lalu menghancurkannya. Berikut adalah alasan mengapa cerita ini menyedihkan:- Brashares memiliki kebebasan untuk menempatkan karakternya di periode waktu, lokasi, dan situasi apa pun, tetapi dia tidak pernah memberikan kisah cinta yang meyakinkan untuk Daniel dan Lucy. Tidak ada substansi atau alasan yang jelas untuk ketertarikan mereka. - Contohnya, pertemuan pertama mereka. Hanya dengan melihat gadis ini, Daniel siap menghabiskan seumur hidup...

Wow! Loved every minute of it. I was sucked into the many lives of Daniel and Sophia (Lucy). Longing, waiting, and rooting for their love for each other to cross over their many lifetimes after centuries of roadblocks.
It was a beautiful read. Five stars.

2.5 StarsRomance A Thon: New Adult Romance Summer A Thon: A Beachy ReadWell....That was anticlimactic The entire time I was reading this book I thought I would give it 3- 3.5 Stars because I was enjoying it and I totally shipped this couple. Then it ended. I mean the book just ended out of no where. The entire last 100 pages was leading up to this showdown between two particular characters ( no spoilers) and then right when we were getting to that, the book just ends. WHAT THE LITERAL FUCK??? An...

Audiobook: Oh this was trip!!!! Writing an abbreviated review will be a challenge here for me. Logically speaking I shouldn't have like this book....but I did. "Sense 8", ( the T.V. Series-which I LOVE), meets "Life after Life", by Kate Atkinson, (which I didn't love). In "Life After Life", Ursula died so many times -ongoing endless repetition deaths - was often like nails-on-a chalkboard irritating. In "My Name Is Memory", Daniel has died many times also --but he travels through centuries and a...

OH. MY. GOD. This book was EVERYTHING and more. It has left my brain stunned at it's utter genious, which is why this review probably wont be very coherent, but who am I kidding? there is no way I could caption this brilliance that is this book anyway.So I wont say much I will just say this:From the very first pages I was encaptured by this book - loving the writing, and intrigued by the story. And as the story moved along, spinning pieces together, I just fell in love with it. Madly. ...

GAAAR!!Are you kidding me?!I'm still expecting Ashton Kutcher to pop out of my closet to declare I've been punk’d.This could have easily been a 5-star book if not for the ending. I've never been so dissatisfied! Yes, I still give it 4 stars because it was brilliantly written, romantic, emotionally gripping. I loved the characters and the overall story that was told here...again, up until like the last two pages. Seriously? Would it have hurt Brashares to add, I don't know, thirty more pages to c...

My Name is Memory is a love story unlike any I have ever known. Ann Brashares unravels her tale a bit at a time and toys with her audience much like a cat bats a ball of yarn. We are tossed to and fro throughout the ages clinging to the memories of Daniel -- a soul who is both blessed and cursed with the incredbile ability to remember all of his many lives as he is reincarnated over centuries. Daniel's stories pull us into the ancient worlds of Northern Africa and Crete, to the not-so-distant pa...
