memoirs of a teenage amnesiac (Farrar, Stauss and Girioux, 2007) by Gabrielle Zevin is very, very good. It's an interesting concept, and very believable.
16 year old Naomi fell and hit her head. She can't remember anything from the last 4 years: her boyfriend; her parent's divorce; her half sister; her best friend, Will Landsman, who calls her Chief; why she loves working on the Yearbook; French; how to drive a car. She doesn't know why she was with Ace; she's interested in James, the new guy, who rescued her when she fell. She decides she doesn't like who she was. THEN, she remembers . . . everything!
