This book was so beautiful and intense. I was so emotional while reading this. The writing style was simple but the art work complemented it perfectly. The relationship between Clémence and her Grandma was beautiful. Great read!

“Too late" arrives sooner than we think.”
This is my first graphic novel I think ever?
Forget Me Not was such an emotional read. It is about how Clémence's grandmother being held in a retirement home, and when she knew that they were going to medicate her to keep her dozed off she decided to 'kidnap' her and runaway. With her grandmother suffering from Alzheimer's disease.. It was sometimes intense in the car as they were driving away to a certain destination.
Their relationship was beautifully portrayed. It broke my heart the way her grandma was one time present and another time lost... mentally.
The art was simple yet captivating. Aside from the nudity. I really enjoyed this one.
Reminded me of my grandma.. Wish I could have one more day with her.

5 ⭐ I'm a sucker for grandma stories and this one is right in with my favourites
They go on a road trip, the destination? Grammy's childhood home. The trip is long and Grammy's memory is not what it was, Alzheimer's is an unkind disease. Through the nice times, with Mounds bars, picnics, decorating with forget me nots; through the rough times, being robbed, being forgotten on and off, getting in a fight, getting in an accident, learning again that your parents have died and you are much older than you think you are; Grammy and Clémence arrive at their destination.
I could not fight the tears at the end. What a beautiful thing to remember their relationship by. Clémence might have lost a lot during this trip, but she also learned invaluable lessons.
In the end, it is time to return home, to her normal life. Only to find a letter. An unexpected memento. A postcard, a flower, memories from the trip of a lifetime.

J’ai eu la gorgée nouée et les larmes aux yeux tout le long tant c’était beau, juste et sensible, une vraie merveille à lire qui m’a en plus permis d’avoir une conversation à ce propos, ayant été touchée indirectement (mais quand je n’étais pas née, oh comme cette phrase est formulée étrangement !). Bref, je vous le recommande vraiment, pour l’histoire et pour les illustrations et les couleurs qui sont superbes.
