This is an emotional but very good one. It shows what diseases like dementia and Alzheimer's can do to our relatives. The art was beautiful. I really liked the color palette used throughout. The story is told in a very well put together and executed way. The overall message of 'don't wait to tell people you love them because you don't know when your last moment will be' was done well too. I have no complaints at all. It wrapped up in a very satisfying way compared to other graphic novels I have read. I would say this is a good read for fans of people like Tillie Walden. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a quick and emotional book!

Très, très touchant !
Ce roman graphique vaut vraiment le coup d'être lu et découvert. Que ce soit la douceur des dessins, des couleurs et la délicatesse du scénario, c'est un petit bijou du début à la fin. C'est à la fois beau, triste et un joli message.

Such an emotional and beautiful piece of art. Forget Me Not tells a very real story that will definitely make you cry. The minimalist setting does even more to highlight the emotional setting of the story.
This book was so beautiful - the art and the story. This is a great visual representation of what Alzheimer’s does to a person. Get your tissues ready!
Thank you EuropeComics and NetGalley for the reading copy.

Wow...I loved this.
It touched me on so many levels, as a mother, daughter, and once granddaughter I could relate to all characters.
This wonderful graphic comic is about an Alzheimer's grandma at a hospice, living a lonely and miserable life (art at this was exceptional to give us the feelings of emptiness and loneliness) Her granddaughter, Clemence, decides to "kidnap" her grandma.
From here on they both go on an adventure together, back into the past, a search for the happy times of childhood which both long for.
Now, this was wonderfully drawn, the story is so sweet and funny. I loved how grandma and grandaughter connected after a while.
It made me think of my grandma and my mother. How I wish I had had more time to make unique memories like this.
It made me so emotional at the end.
"Too late arrives sooner than we think"
Such a powerful quote to remind us that we need to love our loved ones each day the best way.

Thank you Netgalley and Europe comics for this copy of Forget Me Not by Alix Garin.
In Forget Me Not, Clemence and her mother are coping with her grandmothers rapidly worsening Alzheimers Disease. Due to the nursing home her grandmother stays in medicating her grandmother Clemence is driven to rescue her grandmother and take her on one last adventure in hopes to spark a memory.
This graphic novel is a gem and can honestly be read in about an hour or so. I really enjoyed the representation in here and the unflinching take on what Alzheimers Disease does to a family. The book does a pretty good job at showing how stressful keeping up with someone battling the disease can be and how its almost harder for the family members.
At times it felt a bit sentimental, which was fine as it never felt gratuitous either. This was a very solid graphic novel.
