About this listen
What would you do if you googled yourself and uncovered something shocking?
In this gripping psychological thriller, a group of privileged suburban moms amuse themselves by googling everyone in town, digging up dirt to fuel thorny gossip. Caroline Thompson, devoted mother of two, sticks to the moral high ground and attempts to avoid these women. She's relieved to hear her name appears only three times, citing her philanthropy. Despite being grateful that she has nothing to hide, a delayed pang of insecurity prods Caroline to google her maiden name - which none of the others know.
The hits cascade like a tsunami. Caroline's terrified by what she reads. An obituary for her sister, JD? That's absurd. With every click the revelations grow more alarming. They can't be right. She'd know. Caroline is hurled into a state of paranoia, upending her blissful family life, desperate to prove these allegations false before someone discovers they're true.
The disturbing underpinnings of The Memory Box expose a story of deceit, misconceptions, and an obsession with control. With its twists, taut pacing, and psychological tenor, Natiello's pause-resisting suspense cautions: Be careful what you search for.

This book is messed up
It was intriguing, and the ending was a rollercoaster ride. But I just found it disturbing. Maybe that was the point.

Had potential - poor ending
Looked like it was going to be a real thriller but really fizzled out in the last few chapters. Ending felt like the author needed to end the story quickly but it just wasn't a good ending. quite disappointed.

Had real potential - but I'm giving up
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
People who don't mind long waits between the story's "action"?
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I found this book to be very long winded. The exciting elements of this story are few and far between and there's just too much 'dazed and confused' Caroline in between. The actual plot is very interesting and I want to know what happens in the end, but it's been pretty hard going listening to this story. Even my favourite narrator, Cassandra Campbell, couldn't help this sinking ship.
Which character – as performed by Cassandra Campbell – was your favourite?
Cassandra Campbell is such a great narrator but I don't think she had a lot to work with here. Maybe Caroline's mother on the tapes?
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Memory Box?
All the scenes where Caroline forgot to do things that people asked her to do. That was very irritating. We get it, she's confused and can't focus. Not sure how many times you have to labour this point.
Any additional comments?
I don't recommend this novel. I can see from the other reviews that many others also didn't like this story.
