In a world where memories can be bought, sold and owned, sixteen-year-old Brooke Morgan has always accepted the system as part of life. Until her older sister Blair is relocated by the government. Years later, Brooke receives a distress signal from Blair in the form of an illegally extracted memory, forcing her into the underground memory trade and towards secrets the government has spent years burying. As Brooke follows the trail, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about memories, ownership and the people controlling both. Because some memories are worth more than money. And some are worth burying for.

RIGHT Weeks before Valentine's, seventeen-year-old Kate Lapuz goes through her first ever breakup, but soon she stumbles upon a mysterious new app called My Dream Boyfriend, an AI chatbot that has the ability to understand human feelings. Casually, she participates in the app's trial run but finds herself immersed in the empathic conversations with her customizable virtual boyfriend, Ecto. In a society both connected and alienated by technology, Kate suspects an actual secret admirer is behind Ecto. Could it be the work of the techie student council president Dion or has Kate really found her soulmate in bits of computer code? She decides to get to the bottom of the cutting-edge app. Her search for Ecto's real identity leads Kate to prom, where absolute knowledge comes with a very steep price.
