The Boy I Have to Remember

What if the person you love is still standing beside you-but slowly forgetting who you are?

Eli has always believed that memories are what make us who we are. Then, at seventeen, he begins forgetting things he shouldn't: familiar places, conversations, words, and eventually pieces of himself.

Noah is the first person to notice.

He is also the person Eli falls in love with.

When they finally discover the truth, there is no cure waiting for them-only a progressive illness that will slowly take Eli's memories, independence, and ability to recognize the people he loves.

So they make a promise:

They will make as many memories as they can while Eli still remembers.

But what happens when the day comes when Eli looks at Noah and asks-

"Who are you?"

As one boy fights to hold on to himself and the other struggles to hold on to every memory they created together, they must discover whether love can survive even when the person you love can no longer remember loving you.

A story about first love, memory, loss, and the unbearable beauty of staying until the very end.

Some people leave by walking away.

Some disappear while you're still holding their hand.
