*The One Memory of Flora Banks* by Emily Barr tells the story of Flora, a teenage girl with anterograde amnesia, a condition that prevents her from forming new memories. She can't remember anything from one day to the next, which means she lives in a constant state of forgetfulness. The only thing that helps her is the notes she writes to herself, including one on her hand that says "FLORA BE BRAVE."

Everything changes when Flora kisses a boy named Drake, which leads to a breakthrough: the next day, she actually remembers the kiss, her first memory in years. But when she tries to find Drake again, she believes he has disappeared—possibly even moved to the Arctic. Flora becomes convinced that if she can find him, it will somehow help her unlock her lost memories and understand her past.

Driven by this goal, Flora embarks on a journey to track him down, but as she goes, she grapples with questions of trust—both in herself and in the people around her. Who can she believe when her own mind is unreliable? The novel explores themes of memory, identity, and the complexity of trusting others (and oneself) when reality feels fluid and uncertain.
