My Review:
*I
received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to
Victory Editing and NetGalley*
Hope
Jackson is dying from a heart condition. In her last days, she organises a
scavenger hunt for her friends to complete throughout New York. Her plan is
that it will help Erik, Sam, Kali and Aiden to confront their secrets.
Will they
be able to complete the scavenger hunt?
Will they
fight their demons or ignore Hope's wishes?
I thought
the idea for 'In the Hope of Memories' was an interesting one. Hope cared for
her friends a lot and she wanted them to be happy.
There were
diverse characters and while I liked them I don't feel that I really connected
with them.
The plot
was alright but I wasn't gripped and lost interest once or twice.
It was
good seeing the scavenger hunt from different points of views and to read about
the character's memories and interactions with Hope.
Overall
this was a mostly enjoyable, unique read.
