The servant's daughter and the aristocrats' son engage in a prohibited bond. Melanie moves in with her mother to work in the Kingstons' household, who have just had their son, Kai, come back from a mysterious absence. After Kai walks in on her at an inconvenient time, he is tempted to break her walls and push her limits. It starts with reading some books to unwind, but no one knows when or where it could end. While Melanie tries to fit in her new environment around higher class people, she discovers she has been caught in a lie; Melanie's life choices were never hers. It was all planned by the person she expected the least, and the discovered truths will change her life forever. ◇ "What's in there?" I inquired instead of letting him mindlessly pull me wherever he wanted. He looked back at me and smiled. That was a first.

A misguidedly idealistic high school student founds a club to teach his classmates philosophy; when it becomes a cult, he must change course before the whole school drinks the Kool-Aid. Frank can think of no better way to prove his classmates have no moral compass than to write a manifesto satirically arguing for the virtues of selfishness; when this attempt at shining a light on his classmates' behavior is taken at face value, he creates a club to spread his teachings, hoping his ironies will be more obvious on a grander scale. The authoritarian rule of law he establishes meets little resistance from his club members, even as he wonders privately when they'll have enough and choose a more virtuous path. While Frank earnestly seeks to help his classmates, his methodology proves misguided in practice, and Frank must find where to draw the line before he permanently ruins his beloved high school. But then again, being a cult leader is too much fun to pass up... You Must Remember This adapts the foundation of Catch-22 in a high school setting, applying the same notion of dystopian bureaucracy to lampoon Silicon Valley's competitive spirit and, in these politically charged times, comment on the fragility of our own democracy. CW: minor character death (non-graphic), dark psychological themes (e.g. gaslighting), authoritarian regimes (including references to communism and Nazism) "Amazing, terrible, bourgeois horror" "At first I thought the story was about silicone implants" "I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the classic American English course reading list or just wants to read something that will make them think."
