Synopsis
Will Hodge's life is a mess! His mother is dead, he has no friends and he thinks he is being followed by a strange group of people who tell him they know him. But Will can't remember them ...at first. And when he does he doesn't like what he can remember. While Will is struggling with unsettling memories, he learns that his past is a lot deeper than many people's, and he has to find out if he is strong enough to break links with the powerful hold that history has on him. This compelling novel, set in alternate future, challenges readers to consider the role we all have to play in making our society, and asks how much we are prepared to stand up for what's right.

I agree! It does sound good. Great pick!
I was stalking your goodreads list yesterday and noticed this book. It sounded like something I would enjoy- so I added it. here's our Wow
Great cover for sure. I would dive into it based on that alone.
That does sound good. I hadn't heard of it before. Thanks for sharing.
Gemma Malley comes up with some great premises! Hope the execution is better than The Declaration (which I liked, but didn't love).
