Erase Me by Josh Silver YA

Some stories you race through. This one you’ll want to hold close.

Perfect for fans of They Both Died at the End, Josh Silver’s Erase Me is a heart-pounding blend of science fiction and tender romance—the kind of book that keeps you turning pages long after the tide’s gone out.

Seventeen-year-old Eli survived a near-fatal car crash. But surviving and living aren’t the same thing. As the anniversary looms, his therapist and family scramble to reach him, yet Eli feels nothing at all. The months following the accident are simply gone. Erased.

Desperate to feel something again, Eli stumbles into a shadowy black market for memories—other people’s erased moments, replayed through virtual reality simulation. Then he enters the story of a boy named Jack.

What he finds there is a secret that changes everything. A dangerous truth about what Eli was meant to forget—one that could guide his heart back where it belongs, or shatter his world completely.

This is a mystery. A thriller. A love story that refuses to stay buried.

Erase Me is a bold, LGBTQ young adult novel that asks the questions we all wrestle with: What makes us who we are? And what would we risk to remember?

We’ve made a little space for it on our shelves, tucked between the salt air and the creaky floorboards. Come linger a while. Turn a page or two.
