The Memo By Rachel Dodes and Lauren Mechling

The Memo By Rachel Dodes and Lauren Mechling



Do you ever feel like you have no idea what you’re doing in life – and wonder if you just didn’t get the memo?


Jenny Green is dreading her Class of 2007 reunion. While her friends are killing it, Jenny’s promising career as an artisanal baker went up in flames (literally) and her deadbeat, commitment-phobe boyfriend is cheating on her with their swishy-ponytailed neighbour. She feels like she didn’t get the memo… As it turns out, she didn’t.

Begrudgingly back at university, she receives a text from an unlisted number: Jenny Green – please collect your memo. Hidden on her old campus is a secret female-led organisation providing memos to select students; blueprints for success.

The first time around, Jenny didn’t receive hers. Now she’s being given a second chance – the opportunity to rewrite her past, undo her worst mistakes and fix her mess of a life. But at what price?

My Thoughts:

When Jenny goes to her Class reunion, it was not what she expected. Everyone she knew back then has done really well for themselves, good jobs, marriage and kids but she feels embarrassed that her life is not what it should be. She is real life and what people go through each day. The story centres around The Memo that she never received all those years ago but could it of really changed her life back then to where she is now or would rather not be? It was a different kind of concept to this story and one I think worked well, I really felt for Jenny and all her mishaps she has gone through. It had a good pace to it and was quirky, I really enjoyed this read.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
