Meet Me at Blue Hour

By: Sarah Suk

Narrated by: Felisha Wong, Nick Martineau, David Lee Huynh

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.

You can never forget

Thank you Colored Pages Book Tour and Harper Collins for this opportunity.

I listened to the audio via audible along with the physical. The narrators did an amazing job.

Lucas and Yena both came to Busan for one thing that summer and ended with so much more. A true love.

First read from this author and I truly can’t wait to read more. I don’t think I’ve read a book with this setting and plot before. Sarah Suk, the author, wrote a very beautiful book filled with love, grieving, happiness, Alzheimer’s and much more in each chapter. Love the duel povs especially in a story like this. Reading how the characters find their way back to each other while having to rediscover what drifted them apart in the first place. My favorite thing was seeing their friendship/love develop from the view point of stationary items. Giving us, the readers, a captured in time by photo kind of moment. All of this really helped develop the characters and the story as a whole. Not only the growth they have with each other but within themselves and their families. They were able to communicate very well about their feelings.

I love the idea around memories but it also shows how deep within our being and our brains somethings you just can’t simply forget.
