Publisher Description
From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and The Last Summer (of You and Me) comes an imaginative, inspired, magical book-a love story that lasts more than a lifetime. Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life, crossing continents and dynasties, he and Sophia (despite her changing name and form) have been drawn together-and he remembers it all. Daniel has "the memory", the ability to recall past lives and recognize souls of those he's previously known. It is a gift and a curse. For all the times that he and Sophia have been drawn together throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart. A love always too short. Interwoven through Sophia and Daniel's unfolding present day relationship are glimpses of their expansive history together. From 552 Asia Minor to 1918 England and 1972 Virginia, the two souls share a long and sometimes torturous path of seeking each other time and time again. But just when young Sophia (now "Lucy" in the present) finally begins to awaken to the secret of their shared past, to understand the true reason for the strength of their attraction, the mysterious force that has always torn them apart reappears. Ultimately, they must come to understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together. A magical, suspenseful, heartbreaking story of true love, My Name is Memory proves the power and endurance of a union that was meant to be.

" I felt so connected with the characters until the end where I was so disappointed I wanted to cry. I felt like the big build up lead to a huge let down!! "

" Surprising. Unexpected. No, it is nowhere near Twilight. No offense intended. "
— Coleen, 2/16/2014 -
" it's a good but I disappointed about the final scene... it's not a good end for this wonderful story ! "
— Nanie, 2/11/2014 -
" I loved this book! It is a romance but it is different then the typical boy meets girl. The idea of the story also really makes you think. It is romantic yet adventurous. "
— Erin, 2/5/2014 -
" Started off a little thin. I found a lot of the dialogue to be cliche or predictable. The story fattened up a bit as it went along. I still never really liked Lucy, but I grew more fond of Daniel. The climax of the novel is predictable, but the ending was not the cheesy happy ending that I would have expected. "

— Karen, 12/21/2013 -
" Great story, but I was disappointment in the ending. I felt like I was left hanging. "
— Amy, 12/1/2013 -
" 3 1/2 stars. Compelling read. Interesting ideas. Ending was anticlimatic. I'd read the next one. "
— Sandy, 10/28/2013 -
" This was a fun book to read. I really enjoyed the subject matter of past lives. I was dissapointed in the ending. I wanted a more clearer ending. "
— Lorraine, 10/24/2013 -
" Great read, until the ending. Felt forced and hurried. "
— Ania, 10/6/2013 -
" Loved the story line. Really thought provoking. However the ending was too abrupt for my taste. "
— Maggie, 9/19/2013 -
" This book needs a sequel ... "
— Poonchka, 7/12/2013 -
" Lucy is boring. Daniel is a bit stalker-y but his stories were interesting. There's no real substance to their love story. The antagonist was just flat. Also, I hate shady endings. They said there's gonna be a sequel so I'll probably read it just to know what happens next. :) "
— Alex, 4/18/2013 -

" Loved every minute of it... was sad when I finished it. "
— Jacquelyn, 12/31/2012 -
" I still haven't read this but I am considering it. When I read the synopsis, it reminded me of "Fallen" by Lauren Kate, and the names are similar too. But still, I will give it a try. "
— Maeee, 11/1/2012 -

" where Karma and science fiction meet "
— Dave, 6/29/2012 -
" I haven't read this book, but it sounds like pretty much the same plot as the "Fallen" book series by lauren kate. Even the names are the same? Not sure which book has been written first? "
— Just Rach, 6/25/2012 -
" I really enjoyed this book, right up until the end when I was like, "what? Did she just get tired of writing?!?" It's like she spent 170 pages building up to this great end ing to tie it all together...and then it just ends. no resolutions... disaapointing. "
— Doris, 12/2/2011 -
" I love this book. I'm fascinated by the way the story was told and how it developed. With the way the book ended, I'm more than positive that there would be a second book for this.. though I haven't confirm that yet. I say this book deserves a sequel! "
— Lo, 9/29/2011 -
" Is there any sequel?? :)) I love it! wish it would be longer! I don't want it to end..I wanna read more. "
— Darlene, 9/4/2011 -

— Heather, 6/29/2011 -

— Britney, 6/29/2011 -
" This would have gotten 5 stars from me...but I hated the ending. "
— Jackie, 6/29/2011 -
" I really enjoyed this book but I do hope there is a sequel because the ending was left to open. It did not give me any closure and I really feel like I need it. I felt really invested in these characters and I would like to have an ending! "
— Brandie, 6/28/2011 -
" One of the best books I've read in a while! Loved it! "
— Afton, 6/26/2011 -
" Lame book! It's a mix between Twilight and Benjamin Button and Time Traveler's Wife, and I'm assuming there's sequel. "
— Janet, 6/25/2011 -
" 4.5 really, but I rounded up. "
— Jinny, 6/24/2011 -
