One of my top books of 2023! A beautiful second-chance romance. I also really enjoyed the wedding planning plot.

Having his chapters set in the past and hers in the present? Perfection

Julie Soto has quickly become an auto-read author for me

I enjoyed the writing but I wasn’t a big fan of the romance. Wish Ama and Elliot had lives outside their work.

While I liked some of this book, it had the same problem I find in almost every second-chance romance I read. All of the romance between the two love interests is in the flashback chapters, and there's almost none in the present day chapters.

With this book in particular, I just never saw why these two got together in the first place or why they'd get back together at all. The most interesting parts of this for me were the wedding planning details and Ama's interactions with Hazel and Jackie. When I don't even care about the romance in a romance novel, I can confidently say it's not for me.

Forget Me Not
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Wow, I really enjoyed this book. It was such a pleasant surprise, and it had me totally hooked from the beginning! I normally am not a fan of dual timelines, but I honestly think that Julie nailed this one. It was so well constructed and paced between the past and present point of views. I loved the MC's, Elliot and Ama, and seeing their relationship from each point of view and timeline. It was so engaging and intriguing. Ama is so independent and strong, as is Elliot, but each have their own struggles to work through. They are so totally opposite but also go together like peanut butter and jelly (well maybe not peanut butter, IYKYK 🤣). I just wish we had even more of these two in the final chapters!! Also, may I just say...I can't wait to read more by Julie Soto! I hope we get a peak of these two again.

“You may think everything ends one day, but you haven’t had ‘everything’ with me.”

This book has been popular last year so I'm a year late with the read and I finally understood what the craze was about. The one and most important piece that I love so much about this book is the dual POV and timeline. Julie Soto wrote this book in a way where the present timeline is Ama's POV while the past timeline is Elliot's POV. It's a second chance romance, so you're really intrigued as to why these two broke up because they were clearly captivated with one another - like hello? Who can get past Elliot's grumpy behavior but Ama, right?

It's really fascinating to see and understand people's perspective when it comes to marriage such as how one is adamant to not get married because of her mother's 16 marriages. Although, it's pretty ironic how this book is set in a way where these two main characters had to work together for a wedding since Ama is wedding planner while Elliot is a florist. With their past relationship, you can see the struggle of being in each other's presence.

It's a really cute and quick-read for a second chance romance. I just wish that there's more to the story than meets the eye because it's pretty predictable. Other than that, it's a good read!

For this book, I opted to not annotate, just to get the feel of reading without taking a second to write on the book. I was experimenting how much faster I would be if I annotate or not and I've realized that it's almost the same. Maybe in one book, it's an additional hour or so just to annotate, so I'm still going to annotate books that I feel like it would be a book I've thoroughly enjoy more when I wrote down my feelings.
