It is poisonous but even though you will die I’m almost 100% positive that it will stop the seizures.

Celebrate because the cure for epilepsy has been found!!🎉

Side effects include: death

If this is just a small amount of side effects, would there be billions in the medium amount? Does that mean that the large amount would be ♾️ side effects??

If you're a fan of YA dystopian future series... I present to you a recommendation...

Forget Tomorrow, Remember Yesterday, and Seize Today (in that order) by Pintip Dunn

Forget Tomorrow introduces you to a world where everyone receives a memory from their future self on their seventeenth birthday.

Callie Stone has spent her whole life looking forward to getting hers, seeing some (supposedly) concrete proof of who she'll turn out to be... But when that fateful day arrives, her vision shows her murdering her beloved younger sister Jessa. Callie can't make sense of this vision, as she's always gone to great lengths to protect her little sister, who can see short stretches into the future. In this world, people with psychic abilities are locked up and experimented on.

She's thrown in jail immediately after her vision is revealed but is broken out by a childhood friend whose family has ties to a secret underground rebellion who've rejected the idea that a few minutes of a memory from the future should get to determine your whole life in this society. They escape to the Underground's forest commune... but Callie makes the decision to return to civilization when she hears that her sister's been discovered and locked up for her power, deciding to do whatever she can to save her... even when her own future memory has revealed that she might be the biggest threat.

We've all seen a million 'rebelling against a dystopian government' stories at this point, but this series does so many cool things... I love the themes it plays with and the bigger questions it asks... It introduces things like time travel and parallel worlds-- and does both fairly successfully, I'd say-- which feel like such ambitious concepts for a story like this one. I don't want to spoil the first book, but I will say there's a time skip between one and two that allows you to see who some of the child characters in book one grow up to be, which I also thought was really cool. Totally on-brand with a story that's all about trying to predict the future and analyzing how much free will a person really has in a world where everything's believed to be predetermined...

I can't help feeling like this series should have gotten so much bigger than it did... And like maybe it didn't primarily because it skips the one trope I hate most: the love triangle. (Each book does have a romance as a pretty strong storytelling component, but when there's romantic drama, it's for other, generally more compelling reasons. If you're usually drawn to these types of stories for the romances, I really don't think you'll be disappointed. But I also want to note that, if you're like me, and that aspect isn't usually your favorite thing... This series has just as strong a focus-- if not a stronger one-- on the familial relationships involved, which I find to be a huge point in its favor.)

I definitely recommend giving this series a shot if this is your kind of genre.

Goodreads summary: Seventeen-year-old precognitive Olivia Dresden is an optimist. Since different versions of people's futures flicker before her eyes, she doesn't have to believe in human decency. She can literally see the path to goodness in each person—if only he or she would make the right decision. No one is more conflicted than her mother, Chairwoman Dresden, and Olivia is fiercely loyal to the woman her mother could be. But when the Chairwoman captures Ryder Russell, a boy from the rebel Underground, Olivia is forced to reevaluate her notions of love and faith. With Ryder's help, Olivia must come to terms with who her mother is in the present—and stop her before she destroys the world.

Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Dystopian, Sci-Fi

Rating: 5/5 stars

Review: Pintip Dunn gave us the perfect conclusion to the breathtaking series. Seize Today provides all the answers while presenting an interesting and unexpected plot. It was a joy to read, it was really intriguing, and I was unable to put it down. Mrs. Dunn’s writing style is consistent, and as always, her characters simply shine. For a decent chunk of the 00s and 10s (good) YA standalones were hard to find. Every kind of successful release got a sequel. So actually getting an organized, well-developed series that has one invested on every page, a series with memorable characters and an original plot behind it feels like a blessing. That’s what Pintip Dunn brought to the table with this series, it’s why you should pick it up if you haven’t. I doubt that you’ll be disappointed.

Excerpt from Seize Today:

Eleven years earlier…

I pull the lever of the cage, switching the tunnel onto a different track, trying to confuse the mice.

I know exactly how the future will play out, of course. I know which mice will fall down the trap and which ones will smack into the see-through glass wall. I know which mice will get hopelessly lost. I even know which ones will run the maze correctly on the very first try.

I like watching them anyway. They wriggle over one another like worms, and their whiskers twitch when they're at a corner between two paths. But what I like most is how they come to me when I call.

Picking up a mouse, I run my fingers over its soft fur and warm body. It looks at me with unblinking pink eyes, and I think it could be my friend.

Of course, I can see which mice will come, so I know which ones to call. Rodents are predictable like that. Humans, not so much. They have too many wants, too many feelings. I don't see any one future for people. Rather, I see them all—every single pathway their futures might take, flickering before my eyes.

So I have to guess which of my human classmates will want to play with me. Most of the time, I guess wrong.

"Are you bothering my mice again?" a little boy's voice says. "Fates, Livvy. How many times do I have to tell you? Leave them alone!"

Startled, I let go of the mouse and look up at Tanner Callahan, the other six-year-old who hangs around the scientists' labs. I'm here because my mom's the head of the Future Memory Agency, or FuMA, and he's here…I guess ’cause he has nowhere else to be.

He's got black hair that pokes up in the back, and his skin sticks too closely to his bones. I thought this meant he wasn't eating enough, but MK, our child-minder, said that grief over his parents' deaths had burrowed holes through his resources.

This makes me think of the mice digging through the straw, and my chest aches. I flash forward to his futures. He still has hundreds of branches remaining, but in most of them, one thing is the same: he will be sad and lonely until he kisses our classmate Jessa ten years in the future.

I don't know why kissing should change anything. But I do know how it feels to be lonely and sad.

We don't have to be like this. I could be his friend. I just have to figure out the right thing to say.

"Jessa and I are going to rule the world one day." It can't hurt to bring up the girl he smushes lips with. Maybe if he thinks she and I are friends, he'll like me, too. "You know Jessa, right? The girl with the teardrop eyes? She's my best friend." Not true. I think Jessa only talks to me because she’s nice. But he doesn't have to know that.

"Oh yeah? Well someday, I'm going to be the inventor of future memory," he shoots back. "And then we'll see who's more important."

I bite my lip. That wasn't what I meant. I wasn't trying to brag or compare or compete. The futures containing our friendship begin to fall away, one by one. I guessed wrong once again.
