*A Watty's 2021 Shortlister* Three months and twenty-five days. The last time Hadley Brown saw her brother alive. When Tanner commits suicide, the entire town is shaken but no one is more lost than Hadley. Grief-stricken and aimless, Hadley's life seems likes it's stuck in a never-ending replay of her brother's death. But when Tanner reappears in the form of a series of tasks inside of thirty-one carefully constructed letters, she is forced to confront her fears of living life without her brother by her side. With a goal to finish all of the letters by the end of summer and the help of a boy who just can't seem to stay away, Hadley embarks on an epic path of healing and love. ________________ *Note: this novel discusses themes around suicide, grief, healing, love, and personal growth. While the main intention of the novel is to focus on the grieving and healing process that occurs after losing a loved one, aspects of mental health and suicide are prominent throughout the entirety of the novel. This could be triggering for some readers so please be advised of these themes before reading this novel. *Cover made by the fabulous @aneonsky*

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."
