Review of Tabula Rasa by Kristen Lippert-Martin

Advance Review for Kristen Lippert-Martin's Tabula Rasa

Release Date: September 23rd, 2014


This is the synopsis that is listed for the book on Good Reads:

The Bourne Identity meets Divergent in this heart-pounding debut.

Sixteen-year-old Sarah has a rare chance at a new life. Or so the doctors tell her. She’s been undergoing a cutting-edge procedure that will render her a tabula rasa—a blank slate. Memory by memory her troubled past is being taken away.

But when her final surgery is interrupted and a team of elite soldiers invades the isolated hospital under cover of a massive blizzard, her fresh start could be her end.

Navigating familiar halls that have become a dangerous maze with the help of a teen computer hacker who's trying to bring the hospital down for his own reasons, Sarah starts to piece together who she is and why someone would want her erased. And she won’t be silenced again.

A high-stakes thriller featuring a non-stop race for survival and a smart heroine who will risk everything, Tabula Rasa is, in short, unforgettable.

I was happy to soak up the minutes by delving into the intricacies of the mind with this fast paced thrill ride. Whether the main character is getting flashbacks of memories, trying to save herself from hired mercenaries, or falling in love, you can't help but want to know... what really happened to get her sent to a facility to have her memories erased? Is she really the criminal the staff at this hospital are making her out to be? I went through a plethora of emotions waiting to see what, why, and how... but it's the who that keeps you guessing up until the end.
