Short Take: A Woman's Remarkable Memory

Rachel has completed a few books in the last couple of days, including 'The Woman Who Can't Forget' by Jill Price, which she gave a 5/5. Here's Rachel's take:

"Amazing... This woman has a brain that is like the opposite of amnesia. She can remember everything she has done since she was eight. When she remembers it it is like it is actually happening. If you give her a date she remembers everything that happened that day and what day of the week the date happened on. It's a memoir where she's explaining how this has affected her life. It was a really fast read as well. Very readable and interesting."

She read this book after 'The Drunkard's Walk', which we talked about in a previous post as the densest read so far. Switching from 'The Drunkard's Walk' to 'The Woman Who Can't Forget' was a different experiences that Rachel describes as "like when you swing a heavy baseball pat and then the lighter bat is really light."

The other book was 'The Leap' by Rick Smith, which she gave a 4/5. Rachel's quick take: "A different way of looking at possibilities."
