If you have read Samantha Sotto's Before Ever After; the same theme on past lives and reincarnation are being explored. :) You are right.

The book is amazing, from begging to end. Can't wait for part two. Also, can we please stop comparing everything to Twilight? It's beyond annoying! My name is memory is nothing like Twilight- at all.

Daniel's side of the story was definitely the adult portion and it was also the side of the story I found most intriguing and well-written. Lucy's side was more juvenile and had the YA feeling...but then that's sort of to be expected given that we are witnessing her grow up. At the same time, her story spanned 5 years and in that time I didn't feel that her character developed and changed enough from her high school self. I would have liked to see either less time or more time spanned. She completed an entire university degree and still felt like a typical teenager at the end of this. I do have to say though, that it bugged me that people were calling this a time travelling novel. Yes, it spans many centuries of time, but it's not like the characters are actually time travelling. It's reincarnation and past lives that are being explored. I agree that it did have the feeling of a YA novel, but that didn’t bother me.

I'm really not a fan of love stories but this one is different. Aside from it being a love story, it also features some mysteries of human life and that's another story. Though yes, there is difficulty in distinguishing between the voices but the plot is very intriguing and great. Just stating my thoughts. :) I love ‘My Name is Memory’.
