Not the best book I've read recently, but it kept me entertained. A lot of it made me think of a hallmark movie. At times, I felt like the book was too long and just drug on and on.

This book was pretty cheeseball and also kind of frustrating at times.. But basically this girl pretends to have amnesia because her life sucks. I liked the concept and the book was pretty good. But some parts you were just like yelling at the character wanting her to stop being so dumb... Haha but usually that is a pretty good test of a book

I read this book quiet a while ago... But one thing I remember is laughing out loud. A lot. This book was hilarious. It's a story about a girl, Jordan landau, who pretends to lose her memory to start her life over. The situations where she gets back at people she disliked was hilarious. But of course a lie can't last forever and she needs to set things straight again, which is the journey we take with her. At the time I found Caprice cranes writing refreshing, her humour contemporary. A good book for a cozy night in.

I enjoyed it, and only had a few moments where I thought "how is she going to wrap this up" -- and I didn't see the ending coming (I had my own ideas, but I liked how the story ended anyway)
I like that she mentions that you don't need to fake amnesia to reinvent yourself...you can do it every day. If you don't like who you are, Change.

Crane makes me LOL - a true laugh out loud (apologies to my co-workers for my snort-laughs). She once again developed a character who you root for AND want to smack upside the head.

Caprice Crane is hilarious! If I didn't have homework, a two year old, and a job, I probably would have finished this in a day! SO much fun!

What I thought about it:
I read the first chapter there and then and I knew I had to buy it. What's not to love about a book written by an author with a sharp and witty voice? So I finished up what I was reading and started on this gem immediately. Have you ever had the feeling when you finally get to read a book you've wanted to read for ages and then you get the chance to and you savour every page of it? OK, busted then.
Forget About It follows the story of Jordan Landau, who is fed up of her life - her love life is in the gutter as she has the world's worst boyfriend, her family is utterly crap as they treat her without an ounce of respect, her career is stagnant and her boss is a cow. So where does this lead her? No where. Then the perfect opportunity arises, amnesia. Or shall I say, "amnesia". By feigning remembrance, she permits herself a fresh start. A clean slate. A do-over. But without realising that everything comes with consequences.
To be honest, I really, really liked Jordan from the first chapter. Even when she was a little bit of a pushover. I loved how Caprice Crane managed to integrate humour and sarcasm into the dialogues of her characters, mainly Jordan and Todd. Oh, Todd. I really fell hook, line and sinker for Todd. Sweet, caring and utterly charming if not man slut, Todd. I had a brilliant time reading the book from Jordan's perspective, both Jordan BC and Jordan AD (you'll get the humour if you read it, so not going to spoil it for you!).
Some might argue that the beginning was a bit slow, but I reckon it's for the readers to learn about Jordan's life and how every aspect of it has affected her, before getting amnesia, that is. There were moments in the book where I whooped and grinned and laughed, that's when she got her life back round and kicked the butts of the "bullies" in her life. Major high five moment, if you ask me! Overall, I think that it was a fantastic read, but.. I know, I had to be the bearer of bad news, but.. as much as I rooted for Lovely Todd (I've taken the liberty to call him that as he is in face, a really lovely guy), however he doesn't end up with Jordan.
Verdict:
I loved it. It was clever, witty and really hilarious. It had me laughing out loud and at some parts, shocked at the bluntness of Jordan's witty remarks. And the verbal banter was genius! I would shake Caprice's hand for her outstanding effort in making me love her book, but that would be weird. But I think Caprice and I are going to be wonderful friends. I can tell. You know what? Forget About It reminds me of Gemma Burgess's (one of my utmost favourite authors) books. Enough said. Go get it. I dare you not to laugh. I highly recommend it!
