The Reminders

In The Reminders, a poignant tale from the author of Dear Evan Hansen, grief-stricken Gavin flees Los Angeles after the death of his partner, Sydney, and seeks solace with an old friend's family in New Jersey. There, he meets ten-year-old Joan, who possesses the extraordinary ability of Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory, allowing her to recall every detail of her life. Gavin and Joan strike a deal: in exchange for helping her win a songwriting contest, she will share memories of Sydney that could reshape Gavin's understanding of his past. This engaging narrative, told through their alternating perspectives, explores themes of loss, memory, friendship, and personal renewal.
