"Her Last Cigarette Yesterday is one of the best novels I've read this year! It's about a development of a technology that can clone memories in hopes of curing dementia--which is already an intriguing premise on its own--but as you read through, you'll realize the book offers you way deeper than that. You'll grieve along with the characters, you'll experience their pain and their past traumas, and you'll root for what they are fighting for. The book centers about grief. One by one, we learned about each character's past, how, even though they have different experiences and fields, grief is what links them together. I liked how the book carefully addressed sensitive topics such as sexual assault and even showed how our country was poorly treating its victims. I liked how it gave us a vision on what we could do to fix it, albeit fiction, we could still hope in the future of that technology's possibility. Overall, it's a great read! It's something that must be read by many! It truly deserves all the praise it's getting. And you can really tell that it's a book written with thorough research. I bet the author spent so many years in carefully writing this book. If not, then that's even more admirable. What a talent! If you're not yet convinced on how good this book is, please know that I'm writing this review at 2 AM even though I still have work tomorrow. Yup. I willingly sacrificed a few hours of my sleep just to finish writing this review. That's how good this is!"
