Reset by Sarina Dahlan

genre: dystopian, science fiction

Aris loves tabula rasa, the cleansing that the earth's population goes through every four years where minds are wiped clean and the world is a blank slate.  No attachments to create jealousy, no grudges to foster the kind of hate and war that nearly destroyed the world.  Just a peaceful NOW, to appreciate while you can. Not everyone loves this idea, though, and some people believe that memories that should've been erased may exist in dreams, the kind of dreams that can remind you of what you've loved - and lost.  People who believe that, though, are a threat to the uptonian society that the Planner created.  And that's a problem.

This book is a bit of a mixed bag.  The plot and ideas are big and interesting but the execution left me wanting.  There are plot holes everywhere and unfortunately, I feel like the characters were pretty flat.  I finished with so many questions - and not the kind that makes me want a sequel, but the kind that make me feel like all the details weren't sorted out for me.  If you aren't picky about that sort of thing and you enjoy interesting romantic plots, you might still enjoy this.

note: some language and mild sexual scenes
