Description
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meets Past Lives in this gripping, emotional story of two childhood friends navigating the fallout of one erasing their memory of the other, from acclaimed author Sarah Suk.
Seventeen-year-old Yena Bae is spending the summer in Busan, South Korea, working at her mom’s memory-erasing clinic. She feels lost and disconnected from people, something she’s felt ever since her best friend, Lucas, moved away four years ago without a word, leaving her in limbo.
Eighteen-year-old Lucas Pak is also in Busan for the summer, visiting his grandpa, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. But he isn’t just here for a regular visit—he’s determined to get his beloved grandpa into the new study running at the clinic, a trial program seeking to restore lost memories.
When Yena runs into Lucas again, she’s shocked to see him and even more shocked to discover that he doesn’t remember a thing about her. He’s completely erased her from his memories, and she has no idea why.
As the two reconnect, they unravel the mystery and heartache of what happened between them all those years ago—and must now reckon with whether they can forge a new beginning together.

Reviews
“Heartachingly beautiful. Meet Me at Blue Hour will forever have a special place in my heart—and my memories.” — Julie Abe, author of The Charmed List and Our Cursed Love
“A poignant, unforgettable gem of a novel. Each page brims with emotion as Suk masterfully captures the complexities of memory, identity, and grief, drawing readers to the question at the beating heart of the book: is loving someone worth the pain of losing them? I’ll be thinking about this one for a very long time—and eagerly awaiting anything Suk writes.” — Ann Liang, New York Times bestselling author of I Hope This Doesn’t Find You
“Beautiful, important, and filled with some heart-wrenching twists, Meet Me at Blue Hour is a breathtaking romance readers will never, ever forget.” — E. L. Shen, author of The Queens of New York
“Richly imagined with emotionally complex characters, Suk captivatingly explores love, loss, and the power our memories have on us in this tender love story. Thought-provoking and beautifully rendered, Meet Me at Blue Hour is not to be missed.” — Grace K. Shim, author of The Noh Family and Not Your Average Jo
"Thought-provoking and comforting." — Kirkus Reviews
"The interconnectivity of memory, community, and self is explored in ways that read as authentic, despite the near-future SF premise, leading up to a surprising twist." — Booklist
"The connection between Yena and Lucas perfectly capture(s) the swooning drama of falling in love. Tapping into both the complicated romance and ethical issues explored in the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, this story will resonate with readers of Stoke’s Remember Me Gone." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
