Memory and self-understanding
Isis has forgotten Jack after an attack, and her memories begin to return during her hospital stay.
Book details
Sara Wolf - Author
This is a suspenseful romantic story about recovering memory while navigating danger, secrets and complicated loyalties. Its central appeal appears to be the interplay between emotional relationships and an increasingly threatening past.
"It's been three years, twenty-five weeks, and five days since Isis Blake fell in love, and if she has it her way, it'll stretch into infinity. Since then, she's punched Jack Hunter--her nemesis-turned-maybe-something-more--in the face, survived a brutal attack by her mom's abusive ex thanks to Jack's heroics, and then promptly forgotten all about him. The one bright spot for Isis is Sophia, the ephemeral girl who shares Isis's hospital stay as well as a murky past with Jack. But as Isis's memories return, she finds it harder and harder to resist what she felt for Jack, and Jack finds it impossible to stay away from the only girl who's ever melted the ice around his heart. As the dark secrets surrounding Sophia emerge, Isis realizes Jack isn't who she thought he was. He's dangerous. Her past."--

Isis has forgotten Jack after an attack, and her memories begin to return during her hospital stay.
Jack is presented as dangerous, yet his actions may protect Isis from a more threatening danger.
Isis has possible renewed romantic attraction to Jack, while Sophia shares a hospital stay with Isis and has a murky past connected to Jack.
Consider discussing how the story distinguishes genuine protection from dangerous behaviour, especially when Isis cannot remember everything and other characters hold information she lacks.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
