YA
In this dystopic futuristic novel, TFCs--Therapeutic Forgetting Clinics--are the opiate of the people. On her first visit to a TFC, fifteen-year-old Nora secretly spits out the forgetting pill, thus beginning a double life. In order to preserve people's stories, she and her newfound friends create an underground comic, then they uncover a corporate plot. The novel is taut, with quick, fluid prose.
