Publisher's Synopsis
Jess's boyfriend is a cheater - a drug-dealing cheater it would seem, after finding a stash of Nostalgex in his bag. In small doses of Nostalgex, a person can remember the order of a deck of cards, or an entire revision guide read the day before an exam. In larger doses it allows the user detailed access to their past. As Leon, the local dealer, says 'it's like life, only better'. What he fails to mention is that most memories are clouded by emotions. Even the most vivid memories can look very different when visited. Across town Sam Cooper is in trouble again - gagged and bound in the boot of a car. Getting on the wrong side of a drug dealer is never a good idea, but if he doesn't make enough money to feed and clothe his sister, who will? On New Year's Day, Jess and Cooper's worlds collide.
