Forgotten

　　十六歲的蘭登．朗恩每夜入睡後，一到凌晨4:33，當天的記憶便會刪除。到了早上，她僅能記住的，只有未來的事件。蘭登已習於依賴筆記去提醒自己，仰賴可信的朋友幫忙她度過一天。然而當學校轉來一名帥得令人發昏的男生後，事情就變得複雜起來了。路克．亨利是個令人難忘的男孩，然而蘭登搜索枯腸，卻無法在未來的記憶中找到他。但透過筆記，蘭登得知路克的的確確存在她的生活中。難不成與他的那段記憶太過悲傷，導致她的腦子自動選擇遺忘？

　　天啊！不論事實究竟如何，請試想，每天對同一個人一見鍾情的感覺，這對心臟有多傷啊？！擁有如此特殊體質的蘭登，每一天對她來說都是一種挑戰，這樣的她還能夠像一般高中女生墜入情網，盡情的談戀愛嗎？

　　更別提每晚侵入她腦中的噩夢，那些陰暗悲痛的畫面，是否在暗示她應該開始發掘不斷被她遺忘的過去，以免她的未來受到破壞？

　　Each night at precisely 4:33 am, while sixteen-year-old London Lane is asleep, her memory of that day is erased. In the morning, all she can "remember" are events from her future. London is used to relying on reminder notes and a trusted friend to get through the day, but things get complicated when a new boy at school enters the picture. Luke Henry is not someone you'd easily forget, yet try as she might, London can't find him in her memories of things to come.

　　When London starts experiencing disturbing flashbacks, or flash-forwards, as the case may be, she realizes it's time to learn about the past she keeps forgetting-before it destroys her future.
