Ethan Varma works at a quiet little business with an extraordinary purpose: ForgetMeCo, a discreet service that helps people erase themselves from someone else's life. No technology. No science. No mind alteration. Just carefully orchestrated removal-photos taken down, traces cleaned out, memories left untouched but unsupported. A company that specializes in the art of becoming invisible without ever leaving town.
Ethan spends his days quietly deleting the presence of strangers from other people's lives-ex-lovers who want to vanish softly, parents who feel they're a burden, friends who believe their absence is a gift. It's meticulous, delicate work. Anonymous. Unseen. Like emotional housekeeping.
But one morning, Ethan finds a service ticket with his own name on it.
Someone has paid to be forgotten by him.
But who-and why?
The discovery fractures the simplicity of his life. Ethan cannot rest until he finds the person who wants to disappear from his memory. His search takes him through the tangled corridors of other people's heartbreaks-clients who want to vanish, families stitched together with silence, and strangers who carry stories too heavy to remember.
As Ethan peels back the layers of ForgetMeCo, he uncovers unsettling truths:
the founder's sudden disappearance,
clients whose erasures hide devastating secrets,
and a pattern that suggests forgetting isn't always an act of escape...
sometimes, it's an act of protection.
But the closer Ethan gets to the truth, the more he realizes something terrifying:
the person who wants to be forgotten isn't running from him... they're running from who he used to be.
Missing Myself is a deeply emotional, human story about the weight of remembrance, the pain of presence, and the quiet tragedies people carry in their relationships. It explores the fragile threads that bind people together-and the lengths some will go to cut those threads without causing harm.
This book will resonate with anyone who has ever wished to erase their impact on someone's life, or wondered what remnants of themselves linger in the minds of others. With heart, subtle mystery, and beautifully layered characters, Missing Myself is a sweeping exploration of the question:
If someone chooses to disappear from your life...
what part of you disappears with them?
