I opened my kindle with a certain idea of what this story was about. I read a short blurb, I think it was on a blog with a smidgeon of writing on it and it enticed me to buy it.I opened it up at lunch thinking i'd read a bit every day for a few days. Then I forgot to eat (I never forget to eat). I inhaled it, I almost didn't come back to work because I was "in" her world. I came home.. and finished it before I went to bed, because I "had" to know.Up front I'll say the ending was not what I expected, and it was a perfect for the story."Remember me" was a bittersweet poignant ride of emotions, leaving me hungering for me. 'Sera, the heroine and her emotions.. Her curiosity.. her sadness and loss of memory were very hard to take. It suited the story perfectly. Sim, a name i've loved forever for different reasons, was devoted to her, patient, angry at times, characterization perfect.Noah, Sera's father, Maggie, even Angela suited the story.I won't mention the plot (I hate it when people do that), nor will I tell you about the ending. I will say it was worth the money I spent on it, I'd have paid double (and I have) for work not as polished as this.The biggest thing the author did right was the state of Alaska. I live here and the author nailed it. I'm a very hard sell having lived her since I was sixteen, but in her story you'll feel the bitter sting of winter (and it's a unique achy feeling you'll get in few other places). Over all I loved this story and it's going on my top shelf in my kindle. Of stories that I will read more than once.
