Yesterday

It was published last year. I picked it up at the library yesterday. I started reading it and nothing sounded familiar until I got to one line and I wondered, did I read this already? I still don't know. I guess I'll have to keep reading to find out.

This has never happened to me before. I usually remember if I've read a book by the synopsis on the inside of the jacket.
