Jamie woke up in an empty apartment with no memory and only a few clues to his identity, but with the ability to read and erase other people's memories--a power he uses to hold up banks to buy coffee, cat food and books. Zoe is also searching for her past, and using her abilities of speed and strength...to deliver fast food. And she'll occasionally put on a cool suit and beat up bad guys, if she feels like it. When the archrivals meet in a memory-loss support group, they realize the only way to reveal their hidden pasts might be through each other. As they uncover an ongoing threat, suddenly much more is at stake than their fragile friendship. With countless people at risk, Zoe and Jamie will have to recognize that sometimes being a hero starts with trusting someone else--and yourself.

"This was a fun little popcorn movie of a book about a hero and villain with superpowers who meet by chance at a memory loss support group meeting. I noticed a few typos and I think the plot started to unravel a bit towards the end with a lot of revelations all at once (and the way things went down with the cop was kind of wishy-washy) but overall I enjoyed my time with this one. The characters weren't super deep but they were fun to watch and for the most part the action and comedy balanced well."

"This book was entertaining at the time but I think the author really only scratched the surface in terms of character depth, and the world in which super heroes have just emerged. <br/><br/>Jamie was a much more interesting character, but they just didn't go into depth enough on his motivations. If you could read people's memories, really this is all he would do with the powers? I did appreciate that with Zoe it didn't have to be a romance. Plutonic relationships are possible, but this would probably be my only take away from the book. Pun not intended but this book was just really....forgettable."

"<strong>Surprising</strong><br/><br/>I really like it but i was surprised at how it was but not what i expected but it was actually better than i thought. It was friendship and trusting that friend"

"Enemies to friends as they solve a mystery to their pasts with a superhero twist. Comedic relations between a run-down hero and a calculated criminal. Mission accomplished, or is it? So good, I need more."
