A year after his mom passed away from COVID-19, Reef is living with his mom’s friend and her family when his memories start to get exchanged with another kid who lives across town. As his memories get swapped to the other person’s head, he forgets them. He no longer knows his class schedule, his street address, or the fact that he made plans with the girl he has a crush on. Using the details from someone else’s life the two manage to find each other and devise a plan to get their lives back on track. An enjoyable middle grade fiction, the biggest downfall is the lack of any real explanation for their memory phenomenon.
