The One Memory of Flora Banks

数時間ごとに短期の記憶をなくしてしまう女の子、フローラが初めての接吻のことだけはしっかり覚えていられるようになり、ラブラブモードで初キスをくれた男子をおいかけて北極圏に旅するという本を読みました。もちろんフィクション。
ヤングアダルト向けの本だったのでサクサクと読めたけど、イマイチでした。


I read The One Memory of Flora Banks by Emily Barr.

★★☆☆☆

The young girl, Flora, loses her short-term memory every few hours. She her old memory from before she got sick, but she relies on writing things on her arm and her notebook to remind her that she is 17 and she needs to be brave.

One day, a boy named Drake kissed her. Now, she remembers the kiss day after day after day and she gets excited that she can remember. She falls head over heels in love with Drake. So she decides to go the Arctic (from Cornwall) where Drake has moved and look for him.

The book is categorized as for young adults, and I think it properly was. Other than the very confused girl's adventure to the Arctic, the story was a bit too convenient and fairy tale-ish.
