Remember Yesterday
Pintip Dunn
- Reading
- Read Forget Tomorrow first: this instalment directly addresses its cliffhanger and assumes knowledge of earlier events. Pause after major ethical choices to discuss consent, sacrifice, scientific responsibility and whether motives justify methods.
- Themes
- Scientific power and human ethics: Tanner approaches science with a data-first attitude, while Jessa’s history includes forced experimentation and resistance to TechRA. The story places scientific discovery alongside questions about consent and human costs rather than presenting knowledge as uncomplicatedly beneficial.
- Sacrifice, family and responsibility: Jessa wants to save Callie and feels overshadowed by Callie’s earlier sacrifice. The book leaves its stance open to more than one reading.
- Attraction across opposition: Jessa is drawn to Tanner despite regarding him as an enemy, and Tanner is described as rude and morally dubious. The attraction is presented as complicated rather than purely idealised, with Tanner’s actions influencing Jessa’s feelings while he also retreats morally.
- Worth knowing
- Be prepared for references to suicide, genocide, childhood experimentation, animal laboratory testing and captivity, alongside kissing and strong physical attraction. These elements may merit a check-in if they are sensitive subjects for your reader.
